Studio Settings

Studio Settings holds the studio-wide reference data and policy that the rest of Trio reads from - the instruments you teach, your skill levels, where lessons happen, your lesson defaults, and your standard rules. Owners and admins can open this page; teachers and staff do not see it.

The Tabs

The page is organized into a row of tabs:

• Instruments
• Skill Levels
• Locations & Rooms
• Lessons
• Lesson Note Templates
• Policy
• Team
• AI Connections

The active tab is preserved in the page address, so you can deep-link or share a specific tab. The Lesson Note Templates, Policy, Team, and AI Connections tabs only appear when you have permission to use them.

Instruments

The Studio Instrument Registry - choose which instruments your studio offers. Enabled instruments appear in dropdowns when adding students and teachers, on group lessons, and on your Studio Site application form. Instruments are grouped by category (Strings, Keyboard, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, Voice, Other). Toggle each one on or off, or use Enable All / Disable All.

Skill Levels

Your studio's progression model - names like "Beginner", "Intermediate", "Advanced", graded levels, or method-book stages. Skill levels appear in student profile dropdowns. Add a new level, rename it, delete it, or drag levels to reorder them.

Locations & Rooms

Locations are physical places where lessons happen (home studio, satellite studio, community center). Each location can have one or more rooms, used for conflict detection so two lessons don't share the same space. Add and edit locations and rooms, mark them active or inactive, and remove ones you no longer use. Running more than one location is available on the Max plan.

Lessons

Defaults that shape every lesson:

• Lesson Timer Warning - how many minutes before a lesson ends the live lesson timer changes color
• Allow members to book lessons - when off, families cannot book new lessons in the app
• Allow members to reschedule lessons - when off, families can only cancel, not reschedule
• Lesson Reminders - turn reminders on or off, and set how many hours before a lesson they send

Lesson Note Templates

Manage the templates that shape your AI and manual lesson notes: their sections, the instructions Trio follows when compiling, and which sections stay private. See AI Lesson Notes for how templates drive each note.

Policy

Studio policy documents your families agree to - cancellation rules, privacy terms, and studio guidelines. Create a policy, edit it, and track agreements. For granular cancellation rules tied to billing plans, see Cancellation Policies.

Team

Invite new members and manage the people who already have access. This is the same surface covered in Team Management.

AI Connections

Connect outside AI assistants to your studio so they can work with your Trio data on your behalf. This is available on the Max plan. For the step-by-step setup, see Connecting AI Assistants.

Studio Settings vs. Owner Settings

Both are owner and admin areas, but Owner Settings is owner-only and covers identity and billing.
