Music therapists: run small group sessions

Small group music therapy works with a stable group and a set number of participants, whether it's an open group in your studio or a closed group running for a term. With Book, groups are services with a set number of places; you book closed groups yourself for the whole cycle, and open groups can be booked on your own booking page.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and places are examples: set your own according to the rules that apply to you.

Closed groups need the same participants each week. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so set the cycle once, then book each participant yourself from your bookings list for every session. First and last name are enough; with an email, the participant or their family gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each session.

For an open group, participants book their own place on your page. Each online booking takes one place, and a full session leaves your page.

For a group in a care home, school or day centre, create a private service with one place: the establishment books once for the group, or you create the booking yourself. Book doesn't take payments or issue invoices, so invoice the establishment as you do now.

Service names and notes appear in calendar files. Use neutral names, such as "Group session", and ask participants not to write health details in the note. Discuss what you need in person, according to the rules that apply to you.

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you. If you cancel a session, tell each participant yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Book doesn't store clinical notes, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with colleagues, create services per therapist. See the guide on weekly sessions and parent meetings. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
