The heart of the platform

What your students use every day

Fourteen screens, open live on a demo school. Click inside, move around: this is not a mock-up, it is the platform. Six more tools right below, and everything is in the subscription.

Practice log

Every practice session logged: the instrument, the time, what was worked on. Your students see their week and their consistency; you see who is practising and who went quiet, before the lesson.

Ten minutes count: consistency is what makes a player.

Practice log — Brivolde

Sheet music

Your school’s sheet music catalogue: instrument, key, level, and the rating your students give it. Everyone finds a piece at their level without messaging you.

Guitar, piano, voice, bass: filtered in one tap.

Sheet music — Brivolde

Setlists

The end-of-year recital, Thursday’s open mic, Saturday’s wedding: every piece with its key, tempo and length, and the total running time.

The repertoire, prepared together.

Setlists — Brivolde

Recordings

Your students share their takes: the third try at the étude, the recital run-through. Plays and likes from the community, and your feedback in the same place.

Playing for someone is already progress.

brivolde.onbonfire.com/musiclive
Recordings — Brivolde

Gigs & dates

The community’s calendar of dates: recitals, open mics, weddings, evenings. Confirmed, tentative or played, with venue, time and fee.

From the practice room to the stage.

Gigs & dates — Brivolde

Courses

Your method in lessons and chapters: first chords, reading, performing. Free or kept for your paying tier, with each student’s progress.

No separate course platform.

Courses — Brivolde

Channels & lesson feedback

Your school in channels: introductions, practice wins, theory, and lesson feedback where a student posts a recording and you answer with one precise note.

Channels kept for your paying students.

Channels & lesson feedback — Brivolde

Events & live classes

Technique clinics, Q&A, recital run-throughs: in the calendar, with RSVP, in each student’s time zone.

Your rhythm, published once.

Events & live classes — Brivolde

Private messages

One-to-one with you or between students, in the same app as everything else. Nobody has to give you their phone number.

Conversations with your students stay in your space.

Private messages — Brivolde

Knowledge base

The questions everyone asks — how long to practise, when to speed up the metronome, how to handle stage nerves — answered once, searchable forever.

Fewer repeated DMs.

Knowledge base — Brivolde

Student directory

Who is in the school, which instrument, which level, since when. Your students find each other: a duet partner for the recital, someone preparing the same open mic.

A school, not a student list.

Student directory — Brivolde

Leaderboard

Every message in the channels and every finished lesson earns points. The leaderboard shows who is putting in the work, not who plays best.

Effort rewarded, not talent.

Leaderboard — Brivolde

Levels & rewards

Points move students up levels, and under each level appear the perks you publish: a personal review, a recital slot, an unreleased score.

A reason to come back tomorrow.

Levels & rewards — Brivolde

Student meet-ups

Every week, each student is matched with another member who shares their instrument or goal, with a first question to start the conversation.

People stay in a school where they have friends.

The math

What your current setup costs

Assumption: an online school of 100 students paying $49/month, so $4,900 collected each month, community on Skool, sheet music on Soundslice and scheduling on My Music Staff. Public prices checked on the vendors’ pages on 10 November 2026.

Today

Three subscriptions, three apps, three logins for your students.

  • Skool Procommunity, courses, events$99
  • Skool fee2.9% of your $4,900 collected$142
  • Soundslice Teacher, 100 studentsinteractive sheet music and tabs$20
  • My Music Staffscheduling and lesson notes, $16.95 rounded$17
Monthly total$278

The fee grows with you: at $10,000 collected a month, that cut alone reaches $290. And beyond 100 students, Soundslice charges $0.20 for each extra student.

With Bonfire

One app, one login, your domain.

  • Sheet music, setlists and recordingsno extra tool to pay forincluded
  • App under your nameinstallable on iPhone and Androidincluded

Monthly total€97

Over $150 less a month at this size, and the gap widens with every student you add. Your students open one app instead of three. Everything is included, there is nothing to add.

Side by side

Two good tools, two separate apps

Skool is built for communities and courses, Soundslice for interactive sheet music. Each does its job well; neither does both, in one place, under your name. Only what the vendors state on their pages is written here, checked on 10 November 2026.

Commissions come on top of payment processor fees, which exist everywhere, with us as with them. What this table compares is what is taken on top of every dollar you collect.

What nobody says

The fee grows with you, the service does not

On Skool, every payment from your students leaves 2.9% in commission, on top of the processor fees. At 100 students paying $49, that is $142 a month; at 200 students, $284 — for exactly the same tool.

With us the price is fixed: €97 a month, whether you collect $5,000 or $50,000. Your students pay you directly, on your own Stripe account: we take nothing on the way.

Made to measure

Missing a tool? We build it.

The platform is not frozen software you take as is. What makes your method yours — your grade syllabus, your exam rubric, your weekly assignments — can become a module of its own, built for you and living inside your space.

Your students do not see a bolted-on extra: they see a feature of your school, in the same place as the rest, with your data.

What it can be

Weekly assignments with a recording to hand in · a grade exam you score · a practice challenge with its own rules and ranking · an automatic report sent to parents · a link to the tool you already use.

How it works

You describe the need, we quote the module and its timing. Build, testing with you, release in your space. The module is maintained with the platform: it does not break at the next update.

What it costs

Quoted case by case, once, on top of your subscription. No module is billed before you approve the quote.

On the phone

Your students install it: one icon, like a real app

The platform goes on the home screen, on iPhone and Android, and opens full screen — no browser bar. No app store, no review, no 30% cut. And it is your name under the icon, not ours.

  • Push notificationsA message, a live class starting: your students are told even with the app closed.
  • Nothing to downloadThey open your link and tap “Add to Home Screen”. Done.
  • Always up to dateYou add a score or a lesson, they have it. No review wait, no student stuck on an old version.
  • The whole platformPractice log, sheet music, channels, courses: nothing is cut on the phone — it is already on the music stand.

Live, at phone size.

Roadmap

The platform moves, and your students see it

You are not renting frozen software. What follows is the real state of the product: what just arrived, what is in progress, what is built on request. Everything delivered is delivered for everyone, at no extra cost.

Your data

Where your students live, and who can read them

You are trusting us with the details and payments of people who trust you. It is the question a serious teacher asks before signing, so the answer is on the page rather than in a document sent afterwards.

Where they are hosted

The database is in the United States (Virginia), the application servers in Nuremberg, Germany. Better said than guessed.

Separated community by community

Each of the 291 tables enforces its access rules in the database itself, not in the page code. A display bug cannot show another teacher’s students: the database would refuse the request.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

The site only accepts current transport encryption and refuses older versions. The database is encrypted on disk. Passwords are never stored in clear, including by us.

Invisible without an account

No data can be read without being a member of the community. No student list reachable by guessing an address, no paid lesson readable from outside.

Yours, not ours

We sell nothing, train no model on your content and never contact your students. You export whenever you want and ask for deletion when you leave.

Payments never go through us

Your students pay on your own Stripe account. Card numbers are entered at the payment processor, never on our servers: we neither see nor keep any.

Pricing

One price, and nothing on your revenue

One offer, complete. No tier to compare, no feature kept for those who pay more, and no setup fee.

Setup, without losing a single student

We import your members and your courses, rebuild your price grid, set up your brand and your domain. Your students sign in and find their access, their seniority and their tier: nobody signs up again. Their subscription is taken over on the date you choose — we tell you exactly how, platform by platform, before you sign.

It is the first question everyone asks. It is included in the subscription: there is no setup fee.

The way out

You are not locked in, and it is in writing

Handing your students to a stranger is the real risk on this page. Here is what happens if you want to leave — better said before you pay than after.

No minimum term

The subscription is paid monthly and stops monthly. No yearly contract, no cancellation penalty, no bundle you must sign to get the displayed price.

Your data leaves with you

Your members, their tiers and seniority, your courses, your messages: everything exports from your admin, at any time, without asking us. It is a feature of the product, not a favour.

Your domain stays yours

The platform runs on your domain, which you own. The day you point it elsewhere, your students follow without changing address.

What we take onWe do the move-in

We import your members and content, rebuild your price grid, switch subscriptions on the date you set. It is included in the subscription: no entry fee, and no exit fee either.

What teachers ask

The three questions that come back

I only use Soundslice. Why pay more?

You should not, if sheet music is all you share: Soundslice Teacher is $20 a month for 100 students, far less than us. Bonfire becomes the cheaper setup the moment you also run a community, sell a course or a membership to your school — what you pay Skool, Kajabi or Circle for today.

And my current students?

They are imported with their seniority and tier, and find everything when they sign in — nobody signs up again. Payment methods do not move between platforms: that is a processor rule, not a choice. We switch subscriptions without double charges, on the date you set, and show you the method before you sign.

If I stop one day, do I lose everything?

No. Exporting your members and content is possible at any time, from your admin. Your school stays yours.
