### "If you have a private teaching studio...you need this. "

November 7, 2022

4.0

Overall I am super happy with MyMusicStaff. It is not an expensive tool to use and does everything I wanted it to do and a lot more.

Pros

There are a lot of things I love about MyMusicStaff but the one thing that is the best is the ability to automatically bill families in the beginning of the month. It is the greatest thing. I used to do it by remembering myself or the families and I would always feel like I am undercharging or overcharging. But this way I know that it is exactly right. It is so easy to set it and forget it and see that money coming in every month.

Cons

Sometimes it seems like the software is a little glitchy. Sometimes it charges twice and you have to do some tricks to get the amount that the family owes you to be correct. When the software works, it really works well but then when it does not it is kind of a pain to get it to be correct.

### "MyMusicStaff is a Studio Management Game-Changer!"

May 29, 2026

5.0

The staff at My Music Staff are always prompt to reply to any questions or technical support that I need and they are always super helpful! My overall experience with My Music Staff has been nothing short of superb!

Pros

My Music Staff has completely streamlined the way that I operate my studio! The monthly membership is VERY reasonably priced (especially for all of the features that you get!). With 4 teachers on staff, we love the ability to post sheet music and tracks to the online resources for our students' weekly home-practice (with the ability to see when and how often they have accessed the resource). Bulk billing, bulk invoicing and payroll features have saved me hundreds of hours each term! Last but not least is Studio Communication: One of the main reasons we use MyMusicStaff for all studio communication is that every email and announcement is stored directly in your MMS message history, making it easy to go back and find information in one organized spot rather than searching through a busy inbox!

Cons

If I had to choose one area for improvement, it would be the lack of built-in two-way communication within the platform. While My Music Staff is excellent for scheduling, invoicing, attendance, and organization, I would love to see an internal communication feature similar to WhatsApp or group messaging. The ability for teachers to create class or studio groups where parents and students could communicate directly within the platform would make it even more convenient and eliminate the need to use multiple apps for studio communication. Even if this was a "tiered" feature where you had to pay extra for it - I would be more than willing!!

### "Best Music School Software"

September 21, 2026

5.0

This has been an overall time saver that has made managing my business so much more easier and efficient. Their customer service is top-notch and the interface was so easy to learn. Furthermore, all of the support videos and explanations helped me to continue to master the use of the platform. I can't say enough of how great this has been and I'm glad I found it.

Pros

It was so easy to get started using and to manage all of my business affairs in one place. I can do everything in one place that I once had to do on many separate platforms such as payment processing, emailing, scheduling and batch communication, not to mention manual lesson reminders. Even greater is their customer service!

Cons

Not having a cooresponding app would be great and the ability to add lesson videos. I really don't like having to login to the same web-interface from my phone. Also, printing a calendar is a little difficult and takes many tries to get it right.

### "Frustrated by the inability to integrate or to get good data "

December 29, 2025

2.0

At first it was great when my business was in its infancy but as I grow and need more from my tools it's become clear that MMS simply cannot deliver without a ton of manual work also.

Pros

Has many good basic features that improve efficiency for invoicing, payroll, the registration widget is decent. Overall, it was a good tool for a while.

Cons

Beyond the bare bones, anything I try to achieve with MMS is not possible. Want to integrate with other tools? Can't do it... no open APIs and functions through Zapier are so limited. Want to get data to help make informed decisions? Can't do that either. The reports are so limited and require hours of work on spreadsheets using formulas and pivot tables in order to import into a better system. This data is of course all static because you can't feed it properly to create dynamic data. Want to allow customers to book their own lessons through your website? The booking widget is so limited and can't be customized to meet your needs. AVOID AT ALL COSTS if you want a software that you can scale and grow with. Lately every function I try to achieve is not possible with MMS. To say I'm frustrated and disappointed is an understatement.

### "MMS makes my life easier!"

June 29, 2026

4.0

It took me a little while to figure out the software and set everything up, but then it is just really easy to use! I love that new updates and features are added over time, with helpful videos explaining how they work. I thought that my studio families would use the Portal more often, but they really don't. Just when I ask them to register for something extra like a recital or summer lessons. Some parents find the Portal difficult to navigate, although they have also said that they are not very computer literate to begin with. Overall, I love My Music Staff and it's one of the best decisions I've made for my studio!

Pros

I love how it keeps track of all invoicing and payment info, and sends reminders to studio families. Parents are impressed by how organized my studio is, and that's because I use My Music Staff! There are so many helpful features, and the free website is perfect for my needs. A really great value for money, and wonderful customer support if I get stuck. It makes the business side of things so much easier! The calendar is also amazing, so much better than any other system I tried before to schedule and keep track of lessons.

Cons

I really wish there was a to-do list feature. A place where I could keep a running to-do list that I can check off tasks on, as well as daily, weekly, and monthly to-do lists that recur. And being able to add tasks that come up once per year, etc. I imagine the current list/s would be on the Home page, as well as a tab for managing them, and also being able to add to-dos to the calendar.

### "Absolute Game-Changer!!!"

May 27, 2026

5.0

I've been using MMS for over 10 years now, and I remember wishing I had switched much sooner. I was so stuck thinking I had to actually manage my calendar and billing on paper. But once I took the time to give it a try and learn how to set up my calendar, billing, and more, it opened a whole new world of possibility and ease! It is easily one of the most valuable investments I've ever made in my studio. Hands down.

Pros

MMS adds incredible value to my music studio at aVERY reasonable rate. I love that I can put a very professional "foot forward" with all of the automations and integrations MMS offers. I can automatically invoice families via AuotoPay with Stripe, give them portal access to manage their account and calendar, send mass texts and emails, among other things. I LOVE that MMS added the ability to create multiple versions of sign up and contact forms, both for those using their but-on website builder and for those hosting a website externally. The forms can be customized to do exactly what I need and make my life so much easier because all the data is collected for me! This is a feature I begged for from customer service... They constantly listen to their users and improve and add features. MMS is truly a game changer and sanity-saver for this independent studio of one....I can focus on the teaching and not so the admin with that I would be doing. And the monthly cost is so low and affordable, especially compared to the competition. Absolutely LOVE it!

Cons

I wish for a fully supported mobile app! They rolled one out in Beta a while back, but it is no longer available. Someday I hope. But the web experience, both on PC and mobile is great; it just has to be within a with browser instead of openings as a stand-alone app on my phone.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

The monthly cost of MMS is considerably lower than Opus1 & Fons. DuetPartner is similar, but MMS was more user friendly, and has more features and integrations.

### "Great CRM for music teaching studio owners"

July 27, 2026

4.0

A positive for my music teaching business. It makes getting payments easier. It makes scheduling easier.

Pros

MMS is a great value for the money. I appreciate that I can call in and get support. It has greatly helped the administrative side of my music teaching business.

Cons

It's not always intuitive to use, but does work well given how many capabilities it has. Once you learn it, it's great!

### "Great Product"

January 28, 2026

5.0

I've been a customer for a number of years and it pays for itself. Great product and great team. I look forward to the future upgrades.

Pros

The team is very responsive to customer inquiry, they continue to improve with more updates, the updates are relevant to teacher experience, the format is very user friendly and intuitive, the billing system is simple, and I love the website integration.

Cons

I have 2 accounts and manually transfer calendar info. I convinced a studio I'm contracted with to use MMS as well. This caused 2 accounts with my MMS account. I log out/in depending on whether I use my personal studio or my contracted studio. This is a good integration, but I wish there was some way of better managing the 2 accounts for one user. I have to keep both calendars updated because one is synced to my phone and the other belongs to the studio. I'd rather just use one calendar for both, but that would impact the invoicing system as well as the student accounts.

MMS was more directly relatable for music teachers. The others were good for appointments, but I had to make too many adjustments for private lessons. It was also the best product for solo teachers or small studios.

### "Forever Fan"

August 31, 2026

5.0

I love the way I can set up my teaching year, and then not think about it anymore. I have also had peace of mind because I trust that the site is secure.

Pros

I have been using My Music Staff for 15 plus years in my piano teaching business. I think it's great value for my money. My studio runs much more efficiently, and its very professional for students to receive invoices every month from me. They can easily pay online, which is then automatically tracked in my system. It makes tax season so much easier for me because my financial records are all in one place.

Cons

Every once in a while, I don't know how to set up the invoices correctly, but I can usually find a tutorial video about what I need.

September 9, 2026

5.0

Pros

MMS makes taking attendance quick and painless. It takes 10 minutes or less to take every week's attendance and log payments.

Cons

Nothing. I have no complaints about MMS. I have been satisfied with the MMS program for the 3 years I've used it.

### "My Music Staff is like having a staff!"

September 22, 2023

5.0

It's a good studio management tool. My parents don't take advantage of the features that are available to then, but, that's okay. Mine is a small studio.

Pros

The schedule is easy to set up and manage. Tracking attendance and sending lesson notes is straightforward and easy. Communicating with families is also easy. Invoicing is straightforward, but doesn't allow me to set up a percentage per student for the ach fees I have to charge for those students whose lessons are paid for under a state education program.

Cons

Bank fees for those students who pay online are easy. Other fees, especially those that are percentages of the invoice are not accommodated, subsequently, I literally have to manual create invoices for 85% of my students every month.

### "Gets the job done when you are smaller than 5 teachers."

May 19, 2025

4.0

Overall if I was a small studio or a solo teacher who needed an easy way to manage lessons then I would have stuck with this program to manage my studio. If you want to grow and have super automation for registration then this is not it.

Pros

It was easy to setup and manage as a small 1 teacher studio. Once we were over 5+ teachers it became an admin nightmare.

Cons

the amount of manual work I had to do to get the schedule arranged and to use make up credit. Also not in love with the "auto invoice" feature as it would have issues all the time.

### "Made admin way easier, MMS is basically my assistant"

June 1, 2025

4.0

So far it has made my admin work way easier, I can finally keep track of who payed & who hasn’t, and I no longer have to individually make invoices every month.

Pros

The easy way invoices are created & sent & the fact that I can keep track of all my students pieces, progress & attendance.

Cons

I really wish that it would time out when I log on with my mobile phone. It stays logged on with my pc but my phone is so much easier cause it’s always on me.

January 27, 2025

5.0

Overall I am so happy with using My Music Staff! I am a Single Teacher Studio and it meets all my needs. I love that my students can access their own schedule and online resources.

Pros

My favourite aspect of My Music Staff is that it is a fully integrated scheduling and book keeping system.

Cons

Sometimes it takes some trial and error to find what I'm looking for, or wanting to change. At first, learning the system was a bit difficult.

### "Music Makes Me Revolutionised the way we run our studio"

September 24, 2023

5.0

Has enabled us to grow- taken hours of admin off our hands, reduced problems such as double booking. Customer service is always quick to rapid and very helpful. Very happy with it. W just need to get better at using it!!

Pros

Overall ease of use. It's well organised, has a great facility for students and parents, and keeps our studio running without error (only our own human errors!). It was a breath of fresh air when we joined several years ago and it's been great to see the product grow and develop. Couldn't be without it.

Cons

1\. That it doesn't integrate with Xero2. That new students can't see current availability and book themselves in.

### "Fantastic Program"

September 15, 2023

4.0

It's fantastic. I love that there is never any bugs in the system. The fact that I can rely on it to perform the way intended is worth everything to me.

Pros

The flexibility and customization features stand out the most. Many businesses have slightly different approaches to the way they run their businesses and I have never found a circumstance where the needs of my businesses quirks were able to be implemented. It's very easy to use, understand and has always been exceptionally reliable. I rarely come across a bug in the system.

Cons

I don't really dislike anything but I also don't use the invoicing portion of the system as I don't invoice clients. I do direct debit.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

After I switched to teacher zone I moved back to my music staff because teacher zone was not reliable and had too many bugs. Honestly. I loved their combination of features better but the ease of use and reliability provided provided by my music staff was better.

September 17, 2023

I love it. It takes so much stress out of my job. So convenient and such a time saver (when connectivity is good).

Pros

Convenience. A one stop administration platform.

Cons

I work from a place with poor connectivity so I think it would be helpful if it was in an app and all the info just stored on my phone through the app. Sometimes I can access info when I need to because of this.

### "MMS has helped manage my workload and taken the stress out of my bookwork."

September 17, 2023

5.0

It's easy and quick to email lesson notes to parents and students. No excuses for not knowing what to practice!

Pros

MMS has simplified my admin by a huge amount. There are loads of features that I use daily, and more that I haven't explored yet.

Cons

It is only set up for individual, regular students. You can add students to a group, but you can't then give individual feedback (unless things have changed since I last tried to use that). You can't bill anything unless there is a person set up in the system. I provide accompaniment services as well as tuition, but I can't use this system to bill my one off accompaniments; I have to create a profile, then add them to the calendar, and only then can I bill them. I'd like an option to create a charge/invoice without a client being attached to that. I've worked around this by creating a fictional student named "Rehearsal" who gets billed for every accompaniment, and if I need to email an invoice rather than just adding it to my income stream I go in a change the individual email.I'd also like an auto reminder system for overdue invoices so I don't have to go in manually to see who hasn't paid. I do like that there are templates for invoices and reminders.The other feature I'd use every day if it existed would be the ability to create a lesson plan for individual students that they cannot see until I publish it. I lesson plan sometimes several days in advance and like to edit it to become their lesson notes. I can review previous lesson notes but if I edit it it is immediately able to be seen by them.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

MMS was set up specifically for my industry, and compiles several features into one product. Not just for accounting, the online uploads are something I'm starting to use more and more, and the lesson notes email system I use every day.

### "Easy to use Music Studio Software for Private Studio Owners!"

September 15, 2023

5.0

When I started my music studio, I was doing everything with Google forms, docs, and organizing everything on an outsourced web site developer. But my music staff can provide everything that a music studio needs which is an amazing benefit. That way everything is in one place, it isn’t scattered everywhere, and I can bring is to a business owners mind.

Pros

When I was looking for a music studio software, that tracked attendance, registration, easy to use, Calendar, and a payment system, my music staff was available and able to do that! It is very easy to use, and makes my job as a music, studio owner very easy!

Cons

Even though my music staff has a lot of amazing features, some features I would love to have are creating forms, detailed lesson progress, so that the music teacher can easily track the progress of the students, and payroll in the system instead of using an outside source. I know the last one might be a challenge but it would benefit Music studios soo much to have everything in one place.

### "My Music Staff Falling Behind"

January 24, 2023

4.0

We've been using MMS for over 4 years now. When we first found this program it was the all-in-one solution we were looking for but unfortunately, as the years have progressed, the site has gotten much slower to work with, updates made are off-point and not helpful and the program is falling behind in offering features that are standard with others. Most noticeable is the lack of an activity feed or notification system. While other customer management and team work platforms have made this piece a base offering, My Music Staff has no way to indicate who is making changes in the database, when changes are made or a way to be notified. They occasionally roll out new features which are of little use. The Beta Attendance update, still in Beta after more than a year has more steps than the original method and makes the routine more cumbersome instead of streamlining. Despite being around since 2013, My Music Staff is still lacking an application made specifically for your phone further hindering their usability. While we'd really like to continue using this program, the lack of investment to keep up with development and customer needs puts it on the verge of being outdated.

Pros

Ease of set it and forget it weekly lesson management and invoicing for clients.Calendar is user friendly

Cons

Not responsive to feedback, input. No feed or alert for user changes in any way makes it extremely difficult to track if a teacher makes a change or someone has changed something that will impact your client's billing.The adjustments they do make seem to glitch the system at times.

Response from Port 443

February 24, 2023

Hi Jill, we're sorry to hear you're feeling that way but appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback to help us improve! Over the past few years we've actually been rebuilding the entire platform on upgraded technology to address concerns like loading speed and modernize the layout. It's still being rolled out to our existing members, but if you don't see the banner on your homepage to upgrade just yet, we'd be happy to enable it for you so you can give it a try! If so, please send an email to support@mymusicstaff.com :) This major upgrade gives us a better foundation to add new features (like the recently added lesson note templates and auto-save lesson notes) and be able to adapt it into a downloadable mobile app. In the meantime, we did specifically focus on the mobile experience as part of the redesign so using the new version on mobile should already feel more like an app.

### "Essential for every Music School"

September 15, 2023

5.0

I have automated many of my processes, especially the invoicing and follow-up tasks which were previously time-consuming to handle manually. My experience with My Music Staff has been highly positive and I would recommend it to all my fellow music teachers.

Pros

This platform offers a wide range of features that cater to all my teaching and student organization needs in one place. I particularly appreciate the calendar, attendance, and invoicing system, which have significantly automated my manual processes, saving me a considerable amount of time.There are lots of features which cover all of my needs for teaching and organising students in one place, I like the calendar feature, attendance, and invoicing system which really automated a lot of my manual processes and saves lots of time.

Cons

It would be beneficial to update the appearance of the platform and have a corresponding mobile application. Additionally, adding more features to the calendar, such as the ability for parents to switch lesson times with other parents, would be useful. It would also be helpful to have features that allow me to monitor my students' progress, reward positive behavior, and discipline negative behavior. Currently, I am using Class Dojo for this purpose, but integrating these features into My Music Staff would be ideal since Class Dojo is not directed for use by music teachers.

### "Best shift for my company!"

September 16, 2023

5.0

Love the invoices section. I still feel the need to double check all the automatic invoices made before sending them out, but they allow me to get paid regularly with the correct amount whereas before, I relied on parents to remember to pay me and for what amount.

Pros

Before, I was planning everything through Google Calendar which was fine with a small studio. As I grew, I needed to juggle more students and this was a shift necessary to look more professional. I felt so organized once moving to MMS. I love there is a login system for the parents to use, whenever they do use it, which makes me seem professional. My most used features are student management, calendar, attendance, and invoicing.

Cons

A direct way for parents to register for specific events. I don't like needing to direct them to login, go to calendar, find the event, then click to register. Seems too much work for them and they'll never do it.

### "Hope Bleakman Review- Can’t live without My Music Staff!"

September 22, 2023

4.0

Again, the website feature has helped me secure a lot of free trials after I created a book your free trial page. Seems small but families have responded really well to it and with a little playing around it was really easy to make and turn the ‘contact us’ page into a book a free trial!

Pros

It’s though to pin point, but I think my favourite is the website feature, I absolutely love I have this under one roof and how I get a notification new families have signed up and they’re already in the system. Once you get to learn the website feature you really can make it your own, im actually proud of the website I’ve been able to build through My Music Staff!

Cons

It would be great if when parents are signing up their child that they have the option to select what classes they’re enrolling in and the system automatically puts them into those correct classes on the calendar. - Another great featre is if there were more ways to pay online other than PayPal, if parents could click pay now and enter their card details and funds get deposited into the business account that would be a life changer- or if somehow my music staff was partnered with after pay for families to pay their invoices in instalments… I know a few families would opt for that option!- ultimately helping small business get paid on time and not having to chase invoices! I’m in Sydney Australia and I know my families wouldn’t opt for PayPal unfortunately. Also an app would be perfect!

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

Honestly, from the price point. I was still new (and still am) into my business and it was important to me to have something that wasn’t over priced especially as I was transitioning from excel spread sheets!!… then tried Dance Biz and wasn’t long until I stopped that. The price intreiged me and after doing the free trial I was so pleased with how easy it was to navigate and pretty much offered me everything I needed for my small buisness.

Excellent - wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Pros

I honestly wouldn't be able to do this job without Mymusicstaff. It's works like a well oiled machine with everything linking in. On the odd occasion I've needed technical support, this has been easy and timely.

Cons

Literally can't think of anything - all I need is included.
