Studio plans

How Studio plans work, from getting one to seats, members and invite links.

About Studio plans

What is a Studio plan?

A Studio plan lets a studio, school or conservatory cover Tonic Notes Premium for its members. The Studio plan owner buys a number of seats and invites members to join. Members join with their Tonic Notes account, and a seat gives that account full access to Tonic Notes Premium.
​

A Studio plan pays for members' access to Tonic Notes. Paying for a seat alone doesn't give the studio access to that person's account or lessons. Lessons are shared separately through pods.


​

How do I get a Studio plan?

Fill out the form at tonicnotes.com/studio-inquiry, and our team will get back to you with pricing for a studio your size.

For Studio plan owners

Where do I manage my studio?

Sign in at tonicnotes.com/account and go to Studio seats. That's where you invite members, share an invite link and see who has a seat. To change your seat count, open the billing portal from there.


​

Do invitations use seats?

No. Invitations don't use seats, so you can invite as many members as you like.


​

What happens when someone joins and every seat is taken?

They still join your studio and get full access for 7 days. That gives you time to add seats so everyone is covered.


​

Who gets a seat when I add one?

Seats fill in the order members joined your studio, and your own seat always comes first. When you add seats, or a seat frees up, the member who joined earliest without a seat gets it automatically. You can't choose who gets a seat.


​

What happens when the 7 days end?

If a seat hasn't opened up by then, the member's access pauses. They stay in your studio, and nothing in their account is deleted. As soon as you add a seat, their access comes back on its own. You don't need to invite them again.


​

Will I get emails about members without a seat?

While any member is still within their 7 days, we'll email you once a day with who needs a seat and when their access ends. Once only paused members are left, we'll email you once a week for a month.


​

What if I lower my seat count?

If you lower your seat count below the number of members in your studio, the members who joined most recently beyond your new count get 7 days of access. After that, their access pauses until you add seats.


​

What happens if a member leaves and rejoins?

A member who leaves or is removed and then joins again goes to the back of the line for seats. The 7 days of access happen only once, until a member has had a seat. If someone already used their 7 days without getting a seat, they rejoin with their access paused.


​

Can I remove members?

Yes, at any time, under Studio seats on your account page. We'll email them to let them know. Paused members are never removed automatically, and members can also leave your studio on their own.


​

How do I share an invite link?

Instead of inviting people one at a time, you can share a link that anyone can use to join your studio. Create it under Studio seats on your account page and choose when it expires: after 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or never. You can have one active invite link at a time. Deactivating it stops it working right away, and people already in your studio aren't affected. Members who join through the link follow the same seat rules as everyone else.


​



​

For members

How do I join a studio?

Open the invitation email or the invite link the Studio plan owner shared with you. Sign in or create a Tonic Notes account, then accept. Then open the Tonic Notes app to get started.


​

My access through a studio is paused. What should I do?

Your access is paused because the studio is at capacity. It comes back automatically when the Studio plan owner adds a seat for you, and you don't need a new invitation. Your lessons and notes aren't deleted. If you'd like to keep going in the meantime, you can subscribe on your own. We'll email you two days before your access would pause, and again if it does.


​

I already pay for my own subscription. Do I still need it?

Once you have a seat, it covers Tonic Notes Premium for your account. Joining a studio doesn't cancel your own subscription, so cancel it yourself if you want to stop being charged. Your account page shows a reminder with a link to do that.


​

Does a seat cover my family's other profiles?

Yes. A Studio plan seat covers the member's whole account, including every profile on it.


​

Can a child join a Studio plan?

Yes, if they meet Tonic Notes' age and parent-permission requirements. For a child under 13, a parent or guardian must approve the child's account or profile by email. A teacher or studio can invite a student, but can't provide that consent in place of a parent or guardian.
