Set up Availability Booking Hours or Block Time Off

Set Up / Block Available Booking Times/Locations - Office Hours

Written by Mica Manson


Don't allow clients to book? You’re good to go, you can set lessons without setting up scheduling hours.


​Taking bookings? Easy—set your default hours (9–5, evenings, weekends—whatever fits you) and MakeMusic Studio keeps clients in those slots. These hours are indicated on the calendar with a solid border.

Temporary Hours
Life happens—summer hours, vacations, family time—pop in exceptions anytime. These hours are indicated on the calendar with a dotted border.

Location Magic
Link a client or service to a location (like Zoom or studio), and it’s only bookable when that place is open in your schedule
