### "My Music Staff Simplified My Life!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

My Music Staff has allowed me to run an efficient business. Students play more because they are more engaged. Parents are happy because invoicing runs efficiently which also results in better cashflow for me as I'm not chasing people for money all the time!

Pros

It's incredibly easy to use and automatically allows you to present your business as that of a professional who cares about what they do. Invoicing is easy and professional and parents find it easy to pay me which makes my life a lot easier! My students love it because they they can engage with me in ways they previously couldn't allowing me to be their tutor for more than just 30 minutes a week. Parents love it because they know what's happening, can contact me easily and feel part of the child's musical journey. Plus it's really affordable. I attract and retain more students because of My Music Staff so it pays for itself.

Cons

I would like to be able to change the colouring of the website after logging in to match my own 'corporate' colours but that's a small thing.

### "A Powerful Tool"

November 26, 2021

5.0

My Music Staff has helped us maintain close contact between teachers and students through the lesson notes feature, and it helps students report their practice times so we can reward those who work hard!

Pros

Scheduling, Attendance, Make-up lesson calendar

Cons

The make-up credit system doesn't allow us to make use of all our available teachers.

### "Makes Tax Time a Breeze"

September 22, 2023

5.0

Easy

Pros

I don't use all the features. I just want it for receipts and for taxes and I love it!

Cons

Cost. I love it but for the small amount of features I use, it's a bit pricy. But it's still worth it.

### "Review"

February 23, 2021

3.0

Overall it has been good. Customer Service is quite quick once you get matched with a member. The Support centre and Pinterest links and How-To's are done very well. Not the mention the lovely additional bits like Social Media Calendar and worksheets for the kids is so lovely! And helpful! I really like using it every day personally and so do my Staff. But my students, not so much. It's only easy to use when you are using it for a couple hours a day like me, otherwise its a total mind field

Pros

I like the amount of customisation. The calendar Sync. The website functionality and the Families & Invoicing section.

Cons

It is not user friendly for the public. It is far too complicated for my business. For example if someone wants to sign up for a course they have to go through Student Portals. Log In. Emails. Setting it up. Saving it to the Homepage. Then they cant pay immediately they have to wait for an invoice and then log in again and finally enter their bank details. I am im discussions of discontinuing with this software. While it has great benefits for Admin it really is too complicated for the public and inviting new customers in. Therefore it is not for us in the long term.

### "Great music studio management!"

September 13, 2018

5.0

I can track all my income easily AND at the same time schedule and track students. Best thing of all is having parents cancel and reschedule all their own lessons. Once I got tough and required this it made a HUGE difference in my administrative time.

Pros

Constant updates and improvements; best customer service ever, great value too!

Cons

Some features are not intuitive BUT since customer service is so outstanding that more than makes up for it!

### "Game Changer"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Wonderful - I wouldn’t go back!

Pros

All the admin of my business in one place; invoicing, calendar, notes, repertoire lists, website hosting...! The list goes on but having My Music Staff means I can focus of giving the best lessons as the software takes care of the rest!

Cons

Occasionally runs a slight delay - no more than 5 seconds but irritating compared to the instant responses I’m used to!

### "Worth every penny"

September 4, 2021

5.0

I absolutely recommend this software to every music teacher I know. I tell every one that My Music Staff is a life-saver and I won't ever go back to my old way of running things!

Pros

I love that is saves me countless hours doing administration work and leaves me extra time to spend working with students, I also love how easy it makes communicating with families.

Cons

I still haven't gotten to try out certain features, specifically being the student portal, but this first year of using it was about me getting used to my side. Next year, I plan to introduce the student portal and all those features.

### "Fantastic Software. Great Service. "

September 12, 2018

5.0

Excellent experience with My Music Staff. When I have to contact support, they have always resolved my issues very quickly.

Pros

This software helps me to run and manage my teaching practice effectively saving me tons of time with admin work. The online calendar and reminder system means that students never forget to attend their lesson due to receiving text and email reminders. I can invoice students through the software and even take automated payments. I wouldn't be without My Music Staff right now.

Cons

There is nothing that I dislike with this software. The only thing I would like to see is an update to the lending library, maybe so students could see what resources are available for them to borrow.

### "Robust software"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

This saves so much time in on my workflow for scheduling and tracking students. The reminder options are wonderful as well as the ability to email my studio and to make resources available for them online.

Cons

The bookkeeping interface is trippy. It does not flow well with the PayPal features and I have had to outsource it with PayPal business. The invoicing is confusing and not easy to manage

Hi Lisa! Reminders are super useful. No more missed lessons :) Our online payment options are tightly integrated with our invoicing. All you need is a simple PayPal Standard account or you could register for PayPal Pro or Stripe. If you need a hand getting up and running, we'd love to help. Send an email to support@mymusicstaff.com to get started!

### "The Best Software on the Market "

March 25, 2021

5.0

Excellent. I recommend them to all my friends who are also music teachers.

Pros

Honestly, there are too many to list. Here are a few: the automation features in invoicing and scheduling save me hours of work, I love that I can have multiple teachers on a single account, I love the student portal and practice log feature.

Cons

Any time I’ve felt that something could be improved upon I’ve written to the company and they’ve been very helpful every time.

### "Saving me time!"

September 15, 2023

4.0

I've only been using MMS for 1 month, but already am noticing that it is saving me time!

Pros

I love the email templates with placeholders, saves me so much time when sending out emails to all my students! The Student Portal is great for families to be able to cancel lessons or sign up for events. The automatic invoices and reminders are great as well.

Cons

I would love to see to do lists added as a feature! I'd like them to be on the home page (like a running list), and be able to put them on certain dates in the calendar. Also to be able to save them as templates. These would be so helpful with regular items I need to do, Recital to dos, etc.I wish taking attendance required fewer clicks.

5.0

This software has allowed me to streamline my piano studio business. I can do all my accounting and scheduling in one place and my studio has easy access to their own information. Love it!

Pros

It is so hard to pick! Definitely the invoicing software has been most helpful for me.

Cons

I haven't had any issues that weren't cleared up immediately by a chat with the super helpful staff.

### "Love MMS"

September 12, 2018

5.0

I used to use another software for my studio and MMS is WAY better - and I like that the cost doesn't go up every time the number of my students increases. I find it very easy to use and I love that they're always adding new features.

Pros

I love it for the ease of scheduling students and having it sync to my phone/ipad calendars.

Cons

Hard to say. I don't think there's anything I don't like.

### "Changed my life..."

September 12, 2018

5.0

MyMusicStaff.com has changed my life. Trying to manage my schedule and payments before was impossible...and it honesty kept me up at night. Since switching to My Music Staff...I sleep easy. Thanks!

Pros

It is so easy to use, both for me and my clients. It takes the pressure off the teacher to manage the schedule and finances. With a personal studio of 50, it would be a nightmare to try and do this any other way.

Cons

Website customization. With only a few options, it is tough to make the website look as professional as I'd like.

### "Everything I Need!"

September 12, 2018

4.0

I have been happy with the transition although I'm still getting used to it and tweaking it to my preferences.

Pros

My Music Staff has functions I needed but were difficult to do in my previous software, such as tracking sales taxes and counting the number of hours I work each week, month, or year. I like that students can book or cancel lessons on their own using my complete schedule as a reference. The screens refresh very quickly for me. The monthly cost is negligible for what it enables me to do. Online help is good.

Cons

I wish that when students view my schedule, the other student names could be kept private. There was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. Some features have been hard to find. Invoices are hard to customize format.

Hi Sean! Nice to hear that My Music Staff is more feature rich than your previous solution and has allowed you to automate your rescheduling. You can actually hide the attendee list in the Student Portal. The option can be found in your Studio Settings. If you need a hand with this feature, you can reach out to support@mymusicstaff.com

### "Finances made easy!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

My billing is so much more organized and professional. No more errors in billing. I like seeing how my income is coming in and where it's going. Very easy to use.

Pros

It organizes my schedule, makes it easy and professional to do my billing and it's great to see my profit/loss reports quickly.

Cons

Nothing really - I guess the only thing I'd change is when I need to take a student off the active list, sometimes the program says that I can't due to billing. This is something that needs to be corrected.

Pros

My Music Staff is very easy to use, and having everything in one place (calendar, invoicing, expenses, student details) is very convenient.

Lack of an app version as this would make the lesson notes feature much more usable.

### "Very Happy Customer"

September 24, 2019

5.0

Invoicing, payment and scheduling are so much easier using this software. I am very happy and I think the overall value is excellent.

Pros

I love that this system totally automates my business. Invoices are set up to go out automatically. Clients can use an autopay feature. I can write notes and communicate with my customers very simply. I also set up my studio so students can change their lesson time due to conflicts or illness by removing themselves from their lesson and signing up for a different day/time. This saves me the headache of trying to find different lesson times or teaching outside of my normal teaching hours.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve when first learning how to use this system. My set up is pretty basic, so I have not had any issues. There is a helpful "help" section, but I would appreciate short videos to help navigate the learning.

### "A True Lifesaver"

September 12, 2018

5.0

I have over 40 students, with varying price brackets and class types and lengths... I would be spending SO MUCH of my free time trying to keep track of it all if I didn’t have My Music Staff. Plus, before starting with My Music Staff, I was constantly having payment difficulties, with families who didn’t pay on time or the right amount, and that process is now so streamlined! The My Music Staff platform is so easy to use, I can breeze right through setting up a new student profile, adding something to my calendar, or sending an invoice in minutes! My favorite features are the organized schedule and student info list, and the invoicing and payment system. This has subtracted so much stress from my life and my work as a music teacher, and signing up for My Music Staff was one of my best decisions for my music studio, hands down!

Pros

I LOVE the ease and simplicity of My Music Staff. I love how customizable it is and that I can adjust it to meet all my needs as a teacher. My favorite thing about it is that it has created so much freedom and peace in my life because of how smoothly it keeps track of all my scheduling, student lists, and payments — hello to a super easy, stress-free admin-task solution!

Cons

I don’t think I have any cons. My Music Staff has been overwhelmingly worth it to me and has been delightfully helpful and wonderful every step of the way!

### "Perfect for a growing studio"

September 12, 2018

5.0

MyMusicStaff has been a tremendous help for our growing studio. It has allowed us to manage our time better but taking the leg work out. Our teachers love the portal which allows them to see and adjust their schedules. Our parents love the access to lesson notes, financial records & the practice portal. We tried other platforms, but truly, nothing compares to what MyMusicStaff has to offer!

Pros

\*Fairly easy to Use \*Account Management \*Pricing can't be beat - way more features than other platforms \* Student Alerts are so helpful

Cons

I would like to see more options for invoicing as well as an option to designate preferred payment cycle by customer. Additionally, I would like to be able to create studio room assignments on the calendar. We would like to see an App!
