Year-end invoicing and tax statements for music teachers
At year-end a private music teacher has two jobs: bill every parent for the lessons they actually had, and total up the income for taxes. Note & Key does both from the same lesson records — scoped to your country's tax year, so the numbers line up with what you file.

How it works
- 1Make sure the year's lessons are in Note & Key — teach-and-mark as you go, or import the year from Google Calendar in one pass.
- 2On Generate invoices, pick a tax year, and bill each student for that year's completed lessons as a single itemized invoice you can send unpaid to parents.
- 3Open the billing analytics to see fiscal-year totals and export a tax-ready summary for your country — Schedule C, T2125, SA103, the ATO, or Form 11.
Common questions
How do music teachers do year-end invoicing?
With Note & Key, you scope billing to a tax year and generate one invoice per student covering that year's completed lessons, then send the unpaid invoice to each parent. Because every invoice is built from dated lesson records, the year-end totals match what you actually taught — no rebuilding a spreadsheet from memory.
Does it use the right tax year for my country?
Yes. Note & Key supports the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland, and applies each country's fiscal-year boundaries — for example the UK's 6 April–5 April year and Australia's 1 July–30 June year — so reports and year pickers reflect your real filing period.
Can I export my lesson income for taxes?
Yes. The billing analytics export a fiscal-year income summary with labels for your country's tax form, so you can hand a clean total to your accountant or drop it straight into your return.
Can I send unpaid year-end invoices to parents?
Yes. Generated invoices are drafts you review first, then send to the parent with a card-payment link or your e-Transfer details. Families see exactly which lessons they're being billed for.
