It makes it easy to manage and communicate. Pros Easy for families to use, coordination of lessons with communication between different staff. We link to it from our website to make it easier for families Cons Confusing to use on the instructor side at times, especially with inputting notes and sending to families. Would like more options for reporting as well. Review Source JK Jessica K. Instructor Hiring Coordinator Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Ode to Opus1.io" July 22, 2025 5.0 Very happy overall! Opus has been VERY accommodating of adjusting things for us that fit our own business (versus making us fit our programs/policies) around it! This is huge and allows us to continue to grow our own business while taking advantage of the improvements Opus is continuously making! Pros Opus 1 has been a very easy program to not only learn initially, but also to adjust when needed. A lot of my job deals with hiring and adding new teachers to our roster, and being able to onboard them in a quick and efficient manner is very nice for me and my team! Being able to add or adjust a teacher in the system is very easy. I love the texting system, and our company just started taking advantage of the emailing system now as well. It keeps things very streamlined when dealing with automatic emails and updates for parents/students. Cons Very occasionally, we notice some issues with the texting (multiple things bouncing back or not going through), but beyond that, everything is mostly smooth! The one complaint (maybe more suggestion) from admins, teachers, and parents/students I often hear would be for Opus to have an actual app for easier access! Switched from [WellnessLiving](https://www.capterra.com/p/145039/WellnessLiving/) Within a short amount of time, we realized Wellness Living is not made for a music school like us and was not helpful in any of our day-to-day activities. It also felt very clunky and had no user-friendly ways to navigate it. Review Source MG Marlayna G. Founder Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Opus1.io is a must have tool!" May 29, 2025 4.0 Overall, this has been a great investment for our music school. The tech support team is incredible. They are patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. It’s always a pleasure to work with them no matter how “silly” my question might be. Pros Opus1.io has revolutions our service to customers AND our service to staff members. Having an almost all in one console streamlines communications, billing, scheduling, and so much more. Even better, the system is nearly 100% intuitive! Cons The mobile interface could use a bit of improvement. It’s cumbersome to determine how to self-book as a new user. We’ve lost a lot of potential customers due to this. We’ve since removed self-booking from our website and now use lead forms instead. The reporting features are a bit of a hinderance to determining a strategy because we aren’t able to easily extract the information we need. Switched from [Jackrabbit Music](https://www.capterra.com/p/168245/Jackrabbit-Music-Online-Music-School-Management-Software/) Jackrabbit is made for gyms and was lacking a lot of features that Opus1.io offered for east of service your customers.

It's able to scale as we grow and constantly getting better. Pros It works well for both our group classes and private lessons. The self booking is key for us. We like how the communication can be in one place (text and voicemail). It helps our admin staff with communication. Cons I wish the promotions for sessions could be set for specific classes or payment plans. Promotions work great for the private classes but not as well for groups (opus1 plus) Alternatives considered [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) Reason for choosing Opus1.io Self booking and the way opus handled larger groups. Switched from [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) My music staff didn't handle group classes well and mind body was not meant for music schools. Review Source JS Jessica S. Founder and CEO Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No Other Programs Can Compete with Opus1" June 28, 2025 5.0 From the very beginning, we've been blown away by their attentive and knowledgeable customer service and responsiveness. In fact, Opus1 stands out as a top company when it comes to customer service, and we've worked with a lot of companies over the years. It's always challenging to convert to a new software, but with Opus1, it was easier than any other. I don't know how else to say this, but I just don't believe there are any other softwares at this point who can come close to competing. Pros Opus1.io is a one-stop shop for all of our needs as a music school. Everything integrates seamlessly, always functions perfectly, and is lightning fast, even for a schedule holding close to 4,000 students/week. Sam and the team always listen to feedback and work hard to continually improve the software, coming out with frequent updates. Their integrated texting interface and lead follow-up system have been game changers for us. We have used several different software programs in the past, and none have even come close to satisfying our needs and helping us to grow like Opus1. Cons Honestly, I can't think of anything. There are never any bugs. The software is always fast and never crashes. It serves all of our needs very well. Switched from [WellnessLiving](https://www.capterra.com/p/145039/WellnessLiving/) Wellness Living was constantly crashing and we had to deal with bugs endlessly. The schedule interface was also becoming slower and slower as we grew. We heard about Opus1 from another music school owner and it changed our business for the better. Review Source HF Hayley F. Director Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Opus1 has been a game-changer!" December 22, 2025 5.0 For our school, Opus1.io has been a game-changer and has made our processes more organized, with fewer mistakes, resulting in happier staff members and clients! Pros I absolutely love that billing is integrated with Opus1. Prior to using Opus, we were sending invoices manually and it was extremely time consuming - I'd say up to 6 hours a month that has now been saved by using Opus. This allows me more time to focus on bigger-picture things! Cons The cost is a bit high, but to be honest it's been worth it overall in time savings and keeping the team organized.

Owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Customer Service" June 28, 2025 5.0 I really like Opus1. In the beginning, there was a learning curve, but once I fully set up the software it gave me the opportunity to be more hands off. Additionally, I use Opus1 Plus and I love that I can have a CRM built into the same software where I do all of my scheduling. Pros The customer support is very responsive. They are also constantly improving their software and taking into consideration the suggestions of their users. Opus1 Plus is also a great feature that I use. It's greaet for keeping track of new inquiries and leading them through your pipeline. Cons Only one customizable inquiry/lead form, but I believe this is a feature they are working to improve. Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) I loved the SMS features and PLUS features. It helped to centralize some of our operation into one place. Review Source JS Jon S. Director Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Must-Have Software for Music Schools" December 18, 2025 5.0 Opus1.io has become a key part of how we run our music academy. Scheduling, student info, teacher communication, and recital planning are all in one place, which saves a huge amount of time. It’s clearly built with real music schools in mind and continues to improve. Anytime there is an issue or question, there support team is amazing. Pros Opus1 is the most comprehensive software for Music School Owners I have seen. I love how almost everything we need to do for our music school is inside of one powerful software. Cons Compared to other alternatives that are out there, the price is higher than what I've seen. However, I think it can be justified by how much it does. Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) Opus1 was far more customizable and truly able to handle student self-booking with minimal staff involvement. Review Source GK Gabrielle K. Owner Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "On the fence? Don't be" May 19, 2025 5.0 Pros Where do I start? The interface, the navigation, the design, the responsiveness to customer questions and concerns...Opus really thoughtfully designed their software for the practical music school owner. Cons There are just a few form limitations and ability to bulk comment on student accounts, features I have submitted and am waiting for. I would hardly call it a "con". Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) I was pulling my hair out trying to complete daily, simple tasks Review Source Response from Opus1.io May 21, 2025 Thank you for your kind words and support! We're so glad Opus1 has made an impact and truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback on improvements. KK Katherine K. Owner Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best System I Have Ever Used" December 18, 2025 5.0 My experience has been wonderful. I can feel the automation really taking the load off of admin work. Having 1 system to handle everything, including phone calls, is key. Pros Opus1 offers a lot of customization so that every school can set up their classes and lessons as they see fit. It is comprehensive, including features to streamline work and effectively contact the right people for the right thing. And when you run into a question, the Opus1 team is quickly and easily available to help! Cons As Opus1 is so comprehensive, it is a lot to learn upfront - but that can be expected of any big system. Once you learn it, though, it's amazing. Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) My Music Staff could not handle everything in one system. Review Source PC Pamela C. Director Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy with Opus1." May 19, 2025 5.0 I am very happy with Opus1. It is the 4th calendar I've tried, and although it is 3 times as expensive, it is worth the additional money for the peace of mind knowing that payments go through easily and it is easy to see what is available for new clients. Pros Easy to read, automatic charges, instant customer support. Now I'm just filling it up to meet your minimum. Cons A pain to add blocked time. Again, annoyed that I have to say a lot to give you a review. this is it. Alternatives considered [Sawyer](https://www.capterra.com/p/163567/Sawyer/) Reason for choosing Opus1.io Opus1 seemed more suited to my school's needs. Switched from [Fons](https://www.capterra.com/p/171305/Fons/) Fons was a hassle every day. Confusing to see if customers were charged, confusing to read payroll, and just a pain. Review Source CM Charge M. CEO Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Opus1" June 30, 2025 5.0 It has changed my business. Without it, I would have to hire 5 more people. It's responsible for our ability to double in size in less than 2 years. Pros It's usefulness is unparalleled in my industry. I'm not sure that I can narrow it down to one thing. This web application is second to none. Cons The lack of customization in some ways. There are color schemes that can't be changed, and you can't store any commonly-used images anywhere. Switched from [Acuity Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/p/191978/Acuity-Scheduling/) It was a free trial of Opus1. We weren't unhappy with Acuity, but we had no idea that something like Opus1 existed. It was a no-brainer once the trial began. Review Source ML Michele L. Administrative and Operations Lead Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly Recommend Opus1.io" May 29, 2025 5.0 Fabulous! We were using WellnessLiving, which our students, instructors, and staff all hated. It wasn't user-friendly, it took forever to find what you needed, and support took a few days to respond to issues. Pros There is a great deal to highlight regarding the benefits of Opus1.io. The user-friendly platform, the quick chat response, and the easy navigation are just a few. Cons That you can't edit a "Hold." Often, the student or instructor changes the date of the hold, so instead of editing it, you have to delete the subscription and add it again, which can throw off reports. I have to remember to account for that when I tally up our student numbers for my board reports and grants.

I feel so organized with managing my clients. Pros Opus1.io provides an efficient way to manage your studio or business. My clients are delighted with the product as am I!. Cons Like any new product, it takes some time to learn the system. There are only a few minor things that I would change. Switched from [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) I made the switch because Opus1.io is perfectly suited to my needs. Review Source DA Dmitry A.

October 29, 2024 5.0 Premium migration was fantastic and ongoing communications with the team is excellent, so highly recommend overall! Pros Amazing load speed, clean and clear design, very responsive tech support, and most important for us: the ability to know exactly how many students are actively taking lessons. Cons Two things that we wish will be available in the future: the ability to split lesson credits into 15 minute increments and the ability to specify for some lessons to be automatically deducted for the upcoming pay cycle.

Director Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful program for music school" August 16, 2024 5.0 It's been mostly good. Definitely still learning how to use it. The support team has been helpful and prompt. Pros It's very comprehensive and really has the business owner in mind. There are so many useful features. Cons There are certain things that I wish I could just figure out how to do without having to reach out to support or look up tutorials - like how to delete an old client that never responds, or how to transfer students from one session to another. Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) I had only used MMS for a few months but I heard that it gets a bit clunky and difficult when a music school gets too large. So I decided to switch to Opus1 to prepare for my growth so that I wouldn't be worrying about it later.

The team over there offered amazing support and infrastructure to allow us to begin operating fast. Pros It has given us a system to push growth while minimizing administrative demands. As a business owner it gave me the confidence to scale and add new services, knowing we had the operational system to handle the growth. Growing by 55% in 2023 would not have been possible if not for Opus1. I love using it and it's simplified and solved all of the admin headaches I used to endure. I doubles my team end of 2022 and that process exposed the failing systems we had. The transition to opus1 solved it all and I'm so pumped about it still. I also love all the metrics and financial dash boarding so I can keep track of the pulse of the business. Cons Group class segmentation could be improved a bit but it's a small point. The pros are so outrageously high that it doesn't really matter too much. Alternatives considered [TeacherZone](https://www.capterra.com/p/180298/Teacher-Zone/) Reason for choosing Opus1.io It was the clearly superior and modern product. Hands down. Teacherzone seemed out of date and over saturated with unnecessary features. Switched from [Acuity Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/p/191978/Acuity-Scheduling/) Acuity had really limited options for membership and subscription scheduling. Their system was not set up to work for music schools. We also had so many spreadsheets necessary to manage the admin build up with Acuity. All that's gone now with Opus1. Review Source Response from Opus1.io April 16, 2024 Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with Opus1.io.

I highly recommend it. Pros The automation is amazing! I also love that I can bulk email and text from the calendar view. Opus plus is great too!

In the end it was well worth it! Some of the features were missing from the tech stack, but Opus1 team listens to their customer needs and prioritizes development in a fast and efficient manner.

Our processes are much more streamlined and automated now. Pros Opus1 isn’t the cheapest software for CRM and scheduling, but it is the best we have found and the customer service is second to absolutely none. The team works with you to fulfill the specific needs of your business. Cons We wish there was unlimited texting as a premium feature. As it is there are SMS limits.

Pros It is a multifaceted and the ability to communicate with families through the same tool is important to help achieve excellent customer service. Cons There are glitches like there would be in any program. Items like online attendance not being marked after taking batch attendance. If two appointments are being booked for the same time slot, and they are within a few minutes of each other, a double booking happens. Review Source Thibaut B. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Game-Changer for Our Music School — Worth Every Penny" May 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, our experience has been excellent. Opus1.io has made running our music school easier and has been a key driver in helping us grow better and faster. Yes, it's an investment, and yes, there's a learning curve up front — but the platform's flexibility, the constant improvements, the supportive community of fellow music schools, and especially the amazing support team make it absolutely worth it. We'd recommend it to any music school looking to scale. Pros The team behind Opus1.io is genuinely fantastic — customer support is hands-down some of the best I've ever experienced. Beyond the product itself, they've done an incredible job building a community among music schools, which has been a real bonus we didn't expect when we signed up. Opus1 has made our day-to-day operations so much easier and has directly helped us grow our business faster than we could have on our own. We've been using it for two years now, and the pace of improvements during that time has been impressive — they're constantly making the platform better. Cons Two minor things. First, once you start adding on the various options and modules, the cost adds up and it does become pricey — though honestly, it's still worth it for what we get back. Second, there's a bit of a learning curve during setup, but I see that as the trade-off for how versatile the platform is. The UI is intuitive and easy to use day-to-day, even if it looks a little dated. Not a real issue for us.

The students/families have overwhelming and consistently reported how much they love the new system. They can keep track of the calendar, invoices, and notes from the teacher all in one place. It's made invoicing, payments, scheduling easier and automatic which have saved a great deal of time and eased any duplications or double payments. We can also send out newsletters and run promotions straight from the site which has been a fantastic way to centralize our efforts. Pros The system was learning curve for sure, but after you get use to where everything is, what all the button means, and how it all fits in with your business structure but it's definitely been a breaze and worth the investment. We anticipated a 6 months to learn the system but most of the team got it in a month. They have live help that makes things easier in case you forget or something was missed as this software is quite comprehensive. Generally things are easy to find. The process to schedule, reschedule, and cancel lessons and let the parents also have access to that calendar has made things much easier. Cons Some things i favored least about Opus1.io are the deisgn on some things and the system does not quite fit what my business structure is. One the scheduling site i've received feedback from customers that it would be nice if the calendar showed you in a color or bigger words where you are on the page. The layout of the booking links arent fully customizable so there's often a lot of blank space where you see an image and the description of the service. Also, a lot of our contractors simply use their cellphone for use of the site but the mobile version of the site is limited to what you can do compared to the desktop version. We pay our contracctors here by a percentage so having to come up with the numbers for pay was tasking as the platform only supports hourly pay and a flat rate. If you use stripe they do not have a surchage option so having to add in the processing fees has been an adjustment for the company and our students.
