Room utilization

Definition

The share of lesson-room hours actually taught across the schedulable week.

Why It Matters

A music school's capacity is rooms times hours, and its revenue is whatever slice of that grid holds a paying lesson. The grid is lumpy by nature, after-school and Saturday slots overflow while weekday mornings sit dark, so the utilization number that matters is peak-hour fill, not the weekly average. Growth means either daytime programs, adults, homeschool, early childhood, or more rooms at peak, and the schedule grid tells you which story the building can actually support.
