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. Switched from [Fons](https://www.capterra.com/p/171305/Fons/) Fons got too expensive for the size of my business. Review Source HK Heidi K. Piano Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

The free trial was great to test it out. And the free website is wonderful! Review Source James R. Founder Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source SR Sarah R. Private Music Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

DuetPartner is similar, but MMS was more user friendly, and has more features and integrations.

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!!

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! Alternatives considered [Fons](https://www.capterra.com/p/171305/Fons/) Reason for choosing My Music Staff Cost and ease of use to start up. Strong reputation among music teachers. Review Source WH Wyatt H. owner teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Massive EFFICIENCY Gains" June 25, 2026 4.0 Over all I can say that it has been positive. It really has. I would not be able to run my business as efficiently, or really at all, without it. The cost is really negligeable for someone that has even 4-5 students. When you get to the point where your teaching 20 kids, the cost savings in time is hundreds to thousands of dollars. I haven't really had to work with customer support, so I can't speak to that. The user interface is reasonable. Some of the items could be more efficiently placed, like the lack ability to send emails without going to the student list. If you don't know where something is, you'll be able to find it within a couple of minutes. Pros I love the automatic invoicing and billing options. I'm a solo music teacher running a studio of 45 families on my own, and the main reason i sought out my music staff was because I was spending 20-30 hours a month manually creating invoices and sending them out by email. The last time I did that was when I had 25 families, and it was unmanageable. 45 families would not be possible without my music staff to help me. Cons One of my main issues is with the html wigits that you can use on your website. A while ago, there were a couple calendar wigits released to make "client self scheduling" possible. For someone who only wants clients to be able to schedule lessons for them selves, that's great. For me, it's not, because I only allow clients to start taking lessons from me once they've gone through a free consultation where we talk about policies, procedures, billing, and scheduling. I would only want to allow people to "self-schedule" for consultations. but even if I change the available timeslot on the calendar to say "consultation" for some reason the html wigit will not only say its a "consultation" but also a "lesson". which means people would show up confused about what kind of session they're doing unless i scheduled them manually. This is a clarity issue that I could not allow on my website, so I had to stay in a manual scheduling setup. there also doesn't seem to be a method of integrating a physical POS into my music staff. If I take a payment from someone using a credit card, NO I do not want to have to input that data manually after the fact. And NO I do not want everyone to pay through the portal. I shouldn't have to force a client to pull out there phone and click a bunch of links to be able to pay and have the payment tracked automatically. This is a feature that would make my life INFINITELY easier. But I also doubt it's coming in the next year or 2. I won't leave because it's not there, but I will be sitting here with a constant level of 3/5 satisfaction. Review Source SL Sally L. Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love My Music Staff" July 28, 2026 5.0 Once you have created profiles for your students and have created your calendar, you are off and running to making your life easier and organized. This product keeps track of everything. The price is right too! Pros My Music Staff has made scheduling, invoicing, keeping track of payments and expenses, contacting parents and creating reports for my accountant a breeze. You can customize your invoices and set up automatic reminders for payment. Customer service (you get to talk to a real person!) is terrific at answering questions and guiding me through the process of my issues. My Music Staff offers so much more than I will ever use (and more than I will ever know about). Cons Setting up the student accounts and calendar initially is the most tedious part of this process. Learning how the product works and making your way around it can be frustrating at first but the customer service department is great at helping you through it. Review Source GV Graham V. Instrumental Music Teacher Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Music Lesson Planner's Dream" July 19, 2026 5.0 I love it. It makes my planning so stress free. I am not one for spending lots of time in front of a computer, so this program ticks the boxes for me. Pros I can set up music classes so easily. Because I work a revolving timetable each week, I have to change the times of each lesson so this software makes it so easy to do that. Also, because I teach music at a primary school, the school timetable changes regularly with extra curricular activities, so making changes to my timetable in MyMusic Staff is an easy task. Keeping the records of each family is so convenient and keeping track of payments etc all in the one place makes for a relaxed experience. Cons I would like to be able to save templates of my regular classes where everything stays the same except the time of day, where notifications don't go out until the weeks timetable is set.

This software is perfectly designed for our needs and is especially helpful at tax time. Great value for the money. Cons I have no real issues and feel that, as a music teacher, this software meets my needs better than any generic solution could. Review Source JS Jeremy S. Guitar Teacher Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Incredible Product" October 4, 2024 5.0 It's an excellent product and I'm glad to be using it. It's really helped me to feel like I have my business under control where in the past its felt chaotic. Being more organized has helped me to take on more students. Pros It simplifies everything - sign up process, scheduling, lesson reminders, email and text blasts, billing, lesson notes. And it makes me look more professional in the process. Cons There was a bit of a learning curve, but the free zoom call orientation was helpful. Currently - I'm switching over to sending lesson notes via my music staff (I used to do it in email threads). I don't like how students need to log in to view my attachments, it would be better if they could just simply download them from the email they are sent. Also, the repertoire and online resources sections to me feel like they should be combined into one thing. I don't find the repertoire section very useful, because all of the repertoire I want to assign comes with a PDF I've made. I'd love to be able to "assign repertoire" and that actually just links them to my PDF Switched from [Acuity PPM](https://www.capterra.com/p/183090/Acuity-PPM/) My Music Staff is more optimized for my business.

I can retrieve my scheduling through out the day, especially when I am not in my office Pros I get alot of use with the calendar, scheduling, makeup lessons and rescheduling. I am able to keep track of what I assign to my students. I also discovered some learning downloads, which have been very useful. Cons I have not used the invoicing portion of the program...I used it for one month, but mad a mess of the billing.

I recommend My Music Staff to every teacher I know. Pros It has every feature I have needed for scheduling, invoicing, payment record, make-up lessons….you name it! Cons Non. I’m really delighted by this product.

Chief Instructor Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User of 10+ Years - I recommend MMS to all of my music teacher friends and associates!" September 15, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with MMS has been excellent. It is absolutely essentially to running and maintaining my music school, and has taken away a lot of the stress of scheduling lessons. Pros The best part of the system, and by far the most used for us is the scheduling. Not only does in make keeping track of our lessons very simple and straightforward, we can very quickly make changes, and even provide our teachers with access so they can stay on top of their schedules. In addition, being able to synchronize the MMS calendars to Google Calendar or Apple Calendars means that I can see an updated schedule on my phone at any moment. I also love their automated payment system which has removed the need to chase down students/parents for tuition payments; everything goes through automatically at the end of the month and we can rely on a consistent stream of income to cover expense and make sure everyone is paid on time. Cons The only thing I don't like about MMS is the recent GUI change. I'd been using the earlier system for many years and have become quite comfortable with where everything was located. The GUI updated moved some features around which has been somewhat annoying - however I'm gradually getting used to the new layouts. Alternatives considered [Jackrabbit Music](https://www.capterra.com/p/168245/Jackrabbit-Music-Online-Music-School-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing My Music Staff At the time I was a smaller operation with fewer teachers on staff. MMS allows the price to scale based on the number of instructors you have which made their pricing very enticing for my business. Review Source JT Jason T. Guitar Instructor Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Music Staff: A godsend for the unorganized instructor" January 16, 2024 5.0 Insanely good. Best application/ website I have ever used hands down. Six Stars. Pros Where to start? I think the Number 1 reason I love MMS is because of its features. They have truly thought of everything a teacher would need to track schedule and communicate with their students. Anything I personally wanted to try or change in regards to my lessons that I teach was somehow already available for me to utilize. Its as if music teachers themselves designed it. Next is the ease of use. I have never experienced an online tool so simple and so intuitive. I learned the entire sites basic functions in a matter of days and within a week I was a pro using the advanced settings. Literally anytime I couldn't figure how something worked or anytime I had to troubleshoot any minor issue, I could resolve it within a matter of minutes by simply searching other areas of the site. Since the entire platform so seamlessly integrates one section to another, I.e contact information, billing, calendar events, etc... there is typically more than one way to solve any issue quickly. and if for some reason you cannot solve the issue on your own, MMS has an extensive FAQ list to guide you and incredibly responsive customer service team. I could go on as well about the cheap cost, personal customization options, and a plethora of other things but my main point is that if you own a music business, schedule reoccurring lessons on even a monthly basis you need to use this site period. Cons Nothing. Truly. I even expected a small learning curve and even that didn't happen as I was able to use this product efficiently from day one. Switched from [Acuity Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/p/191978/Acuity-Scheduling/) Acuity did not offer the same scheduling as MMS, and cost more. Review Source SG Sebastian G. Teacher/Studio Owner Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing software, could use a few updates to bring it into the 2020's" September 20, 2023 4.0 Overall I am happy with MMS, specially the invoicing and scheduling features. Customer support is top notch as well and this alone keeps me as a customer. Pros I have been using MMS since 2020 when my whole studio went online. Their customer support is fantastic and their team is always available to talk over the phone. Emails are responded to quickly and they always have a solution for my issues.My favorite feature is the auto-invoicing and auto-payment. The website has saved me countless hours of invoice logging, tracking down payments, and scheduling since I can automate everything.I schedule all my lessons through MMS and It's nice that my students can launch their Zoom lesson right from the portal. Cons I really want to make MMS my ultimate hub for my students to access all their materials and video lessons, as well as send me videos and track their practice. However, I think this is where MMS is really lacking. The last couple of updates have been great but the system still feels like it is stuck in the early 2000's. I'm fairly techy so I haven't had a problem figuring out how to navigate MMS, but students and parents who are not techy at all really struggle, so these features end up being neglected by them. I really struggle to get any of my studio members to use the practice log and send me videos of their practice because it's just not intuitive or easy to access. The Online Resources is an improvement, but even then the filing system is really clunky. I would love to especially see an update of how files are delivered to students. Right now you can email students to notify them that a video or file has been added to their Online Resources. However, when they click the file link in their email they are taken to their home page and not directly to the file I have shared with them.

September 15, 2023 5.0 I've been using MMS for about 6 years and I love seeing it improve over time. My team and myself are always excited for each new update. Pros MMS is easy to use and easy to integrate into our business protocols. It helps tremendously in keeping us organized and limits the need for tons of paperwork and binders. Cons Missing Features:- Capability to take swiped card transaction- An easier way to track the difference between make-up lessons that were given due to teacher absence versus student absence in the student profile. Currently all issued make-up credits are grouped together in each student's profile, but since we have our studio policies set to where the students aren't penalized for teacher absences and they have a set limit of make-up credits they can receive for student absences per year it is very hard for us to track.

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. Review Source SH Shawna H.

Music Instructor Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Music Staff Is Great!" January 2, 2025 5.0 Overall, I love this program. I'm not sure that I could run my studio without it. Pros I like the all-in-one inclusiveness of scheduling, bookkeeping, tracking mileage, etc. Cons It was quite difficult to navigate and find certain settings and features early on, and I've gotten pretty used to it but it'd be nice if certain features were a bit more streamlined and user-friendly. Review Source RL Rachel L. Owner and Instructor Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Invaluable resource for music teachers!" September 17, 2023 4.0 I have been able to save time invoicing students automatically and I don't have to create each individual invoice. My students love the automatic reminders and it saves me time when students actually show up at the right time. I like how I can add information for each student and it keeps all the information in one space for me. I like that I can customize the registration form to ask the questions I want. Pros The best features are the automatic invoicing based on the calendar, the reminder texts and emails, the registration form and how I can put it on my website through Weebly, and the student management. Cons There is no way for two parents to each pay half of a bill for a student. I have worked around this by making a second "student" for the second parent to pay for. I also don't like how the invoices are specific enough and will just say "balance forward" instead of what the charge was. I wish I could customize the left sidebar to take out the features I don't use. Reason for choosing My Music Staff It's an all-in-one system for billing, scheduling, invoicing and more rather than using several different services to do the same thing.

Music Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My music teaching best friend - changed my life" September 23, 2023 5.0 Every aspect of my music teaching life has been made better since I discovered MMS. I hate subscription models but this one is a winner; worth every penny in professionalism, time saving and peace of mind. Pros I discovered MMS when covid hit. It has been a god send. The monthly fee is more than saved in the time I save and what I offer to my pupils. The calendar means I can check my day at a glance despite several teaching venues which I can colour differently. Billing pupils is so easy and keeping track of their accounts is a doddle as MMS does it all for me. I log notes during the lesson which I send to parents or pupils, or both, at the end of the lesson by clicking a box. When it comes to the end of the tax year, I press a couple of buttons and there is my income and expenditure. I appear more professional to my customers and my working life is more streamlined and efficient. Cons Very minor gripes like being limited as to the email I can send with an invoice. I like to customise the invoice email based on school or private teaching. Whilst I can do this by changing the invoice or invoice reminder default emails, I can’t use any others so have to change the emails repeatedly by the time I invoice everyone.

Piano Teacher Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User-Friendly and Seamless Integration to Run Your Studio" September 22, 2023 5.0 I have used MyMusicStaff for several years now. I highly recommend it due to their user-friendly and intuitive technology; and their outstanding real-time customer service with HUMANS available for any thorny issues that occur. Pros The calendar and invoicing systems are the BEST!!!! Cons Some of the menu options do not fit on a desktop screen so I have to "scroll" to the right or left to "see" everything. I would prefer that all information is "viewable" on one screen. Reason for choosing My Music Staff The simplicity of use and real-time LIVE customer service. Review Source HB Hope B. Owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source
