### "Simplified my admin and more time to teach"

February 13, 2021

4.0

Best thing I ever got for teaching 100%!

Pros

It helped consolidate multiple students and teachers into one hub. Its easy to use. Multiple features.

Cons

Dedicated app for phone or tablet. SMS doesnt always work - possibly due to multiple network providers or country I'm in. very minor formatting issues or bugs in email templates but support is helpful and they roll out updates regulalry.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

All in one package for invoicing, emailing, enrolments and more!

### "My Music Staff saved my business!"

March 21, 2021

5.0

Streamlines scheduling, invoicing, and teacher availability so perfectly for a music school. It would work great with modifications for all sorts of other businesses too.

Pros

Finally I have almost everything I need in one place. Scheduling, accounts, automation of messaging, plus all the extras that I haven't really used yet like lesson notes, file sharing and more. The customer service is top notch, and my questions are answered promptly and accurately and often the changes I need to make are implemented by the customer service rep directly so I don't have to go make them myself.

Cons

A few tiny features that would be helpful under very specific scenarios.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

It was what most of my colleagues were using. I started with the trial and it worked beautifully so I stuck with it.

### "Music School Management for Computer Dummies"

July 8, 2022

5.0

If you’re a music instructor with limited computer or organizational skills this app will be a big help.

Pros

Calendar & student/instructor management is worth the price. Easy to set up school’s website with their templates.

Cons

The “Expenses & Other Revenue” section makes my head hurt but it’s not the app’s fault.

Marvelous!! They are prompt and very helpful whenever I've had a question.

Pros

I love the ability to manage many different facets of my business--student progress and notes, materials loaned, billing, attendance, etc.

Cons

I can't think of anything! It is fantastic!

### "Best Time Saver Ever"

September 12, 2018

5.0

I've only had to contact customer support a couple times and each time I did, they got right back to me and fixed or answered the problem. So far I've had a stellar experience and can't imagine my life without MMS.

Pros

Best decision I ever made. I use the calendar daily. It is so easy it is to schedule appointments. My parents are able to log in, see the calendar and register for events and classes as needed. It has really streamed lined registration each summer and fall. It helped me keep track of the the student's repertoire and has helped me manage my books so easily.

Cons

Not really a con, but I would love a place to keep track of scores. Unfortunately it would need to be customize-able to each program I have my students in, right now I use Excel to keep all their scores and I would love to have the info all in one place.

### "Great stuff, overall "

February 22, 2023

4.0

Overall I like it. I recommend it to lots of my music teacher friends.

Pros

I like how affordable it is, first of all. It's extremely useful and is designed for exactly what I do. I like the automatic invoicing and that you can track all expenses and revenue with it.

Cons

There is a little bit of a learning curve. If you don't do it right things can get messed up pretty fast. I had to use it for a couple months and call customer service a bunch before I felt like I am confident about how it works. To Customer Service's credit, they have always been extremely helpful and easy to get a hold of.

### "Great flexible and easy to use software "

September 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very flexible and visually pleasing scheduling interface. Generally very easy to use.

Cons

There are some weird workarounds, like having to assign every student to a teacher from the teacher/student tab, which can be annoying when you want to make a quick schedule change on the schedule page. Or having to make a student active in order to assign a new student to a previously existing family.

Hey Matthew! If another teachers needs to step in for a colleague, you can actually use the substitute teacher feature. No need to assign all of their students to another teacher. Reach out to support@mymusicstaff.com and we'll show you how this works! :)

### "Everything I need!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

This software easily automates processes that are very cumbersome to do manually. I do not use the student portal feature yet, but I love the scheduling, invoicing, and messaging features. And the event reminder texts and emails help our students so much!

Pros

Customer service is AWESOME. Quick response and have always successfully helped me with any questions or issues!

Cons

I wish it had a true app interface. But the mobile website works well as a substitute. For some reason I struggle with the make-up lesson tracking feature, and I would like to be able to customize reports better as well as create my own reports that may not be standard based on specific desired fields of info.

### "Completely changed my business for the better!!!!!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

I spent years doing my own attendance on paper, and using excel and charts. It was terrible, and so time consuming, not to mention I lost a lot of money on mathematical errors, and not being able to keep proper track of all my clients and their pay schedules. After getting My Music Staff, I know feel in control, and can run my business easily and effectively - and so QUICK!!!!!! Thank you a million times over!

Pros

It's so easy to use, and it makes attendance and payment recording so effortless! I love how many features and options, especially the invoice creator! Overall this is a need for anyone in music lesson business! We don't need to be spending hours doing accounting and record keeping - this allows us to focus on our main objective, teaching incredible singers and musicians!!!! :)

Cons

I don't have any cons! I really like how this software was created!

### "Great Software!"

September 18, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it is to use MMS! And the support received when necessary is always great.

Cons

It would be amazing if there was a dedicated app for phones/tablets that is separate to the browser app.

### "It's great"

May 15, 2021

5.0

Pros

My Music Staff has really helped me streamline my business. It's so intuitive and easy to use, the interface looks so nice and inviting and my students love it too. It is clear a lot of thought has gone into providing exactly what individual music teachers and small music schools need and as a result i'm completely satisfied with the product. I really feel like I'm getting a bargain and the small fee has been one of the best investments I've made into my business.

Cons

One or two features could be better, for example perhaps the practice log could be more accessible so I could see a weekly chart of how much my students are practising. There are a few small things that could be improved but they are often updating it as well.

### "Couldn't manage without it! "

September 12, 2018

5.0

I love MMS. Customer service is hands down the best I have experienced, and they are always improving the software from customer feedback. There's no going back for me!

Pros

While there are other class management programs available, My Music Staff understands the unique needs of music teachers. It was easy to get started and it seems that every time I think " I wonder if the software can do \_\_\_\_\_\_ ?" it can! It has been indispensable in creating a smoothly running business , freeing up my time, and giving me the security of knowing MMS is keeping me organized. The automatic invoicing is great. Clients have been impressed by my professionalism and the features of the Student Portal.

Cons

No dedicated "emergency contact" field for students. There is a workaround to this though so it's a very minor issue.

### "Piano Teaching + My Music Staff = Awesomeness!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I can't imagine ever teaching without this software. It keep my sometimes crazy teaching schedule organized, invoicing and billing is amazing, reminders to parents and students about upcoming lessons is invaluable. Great customer service--website has wonderful tutorials! Very easy to use after you set it up. It just runs my studio like clockwork! I had used a couple of other calendar/invoicing software systems before, but My Music Staff is my forever software. I just couldn't operate without it!

Cons

I absolutely don't have any cons. Just take some time when you set it up and it will run perfectly!

Pros

I love that I can see my schedule as well as upcoming classes/events for the school I work with!

I love how everything is automated... from notices, to scheduling, everything is done on my behalf. I can focus on what's important: teaching.

Cons

### "Ours goes to 11!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

It has been fabulous! I was working at several different schools and needed a way to see them all on the calendar and they helped me color code the student by school. I feel like they will help the users with any issue as soon as possible. This and the great ease of use is why I will stay with MyMusicStaff.

Pros

The calendar can be personalized & it has simple reports to make my taxes easy. It hooks up to many forms of payment... PayPal and credit cards. I can upload scans of as much music as I want. It truly is magical!

Cons

The “app” is just a link that take you to the website. (Unless it got fixed...it’s been so long since I used it). But, that is me finding an issue. Lol!

### "Great product! Makes lesson management way easier"

April 13, 2022

5.0

It's been great. Haven't had a parent miss an invoice yet since using it. The students have access to materials, I can record what they work on from week to week, and overall its made it possible for me to manage way more lessons than before, and way easier than before.

Pros

Scheduling, attendance, billing. Auto-invoicing, paypal connection.

Cons

Can't select multiple events to delete at once in calendar, or select multiple events to set to "present" Also wanting the option to provide students materials on the site, but remove the "download" option, to help encourage them to get on and log their practice.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

There were a few, but My Lesson Staff was the only one that stuck out.

### "Game Changer"

September 12, 2018

5.0

My Music Staff has completely changed the way I spend my time organizing lessons for my studio. I started using the program just when I hit full capacity and was having to schedule 40-50 students per week. My Music Staff cut the time I spend on scheduling in half and makes invoicing simple and quicker than I ever thought possible. I can easily announce and organize special events, and keeping track of all my teaching and freelancing financial records can happen in one program. The most impactful part of using this software, however, is that my students and their parents had to take more ownership and responsibility for their lesson schedules. I have seen an incredible positive impact in my studio since signing up for My Music Staff. It is completely worth the money!

Pros

Affordable, easy to use, functional student portal and excellent library/downloads section for students, parent access to scheduling and billing is great.

Cons

The way the program assigns credits/makeups took somebody getting used to, and I wish there were a payment option for parents to pay directly though the site.

### "Thats one of the best studio management software out here!"

December 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

I'm extremely content with the outcome, the cost was reasonable and was done in merely 2 or 3 days. One disadvantage is the synthesia video is transferred to youtube as opposed to being air dropped.

Cons

Rescheduling is way more difficult than it needs to be

### "Game changer!!!! "

September 12, 2018

5.0

Book keeping is a snap! Saves so much time and headaches and keeps me so organized!

Pros

I used MTH for years and got so frustrated with it's bugs and lack of features. Made the switch to MMS and will never go back. WAAAAY better value for the money! PLUS, it's a Canadian company which I love! They are very engaged with their users, receptive to ideas, and quick to address questions. I could not run my studio without MMS!

Cons

Nothing really. I use a link on my home screen of my phone to access MMS, but perhaps an actual app for it in the future? Still works great as is though.

### "I'm not a reviewer normally"

September 13, 2018

5.0

First, I have to say I NEVER submit reviews for things. I just feel like I don't have time. And frankly, there are few things that truly WOW me. I am only writing this because My Music Staff has wowed me. I would refer it to any professional in the music world. I have a quickly growing group piano and Kindermusik studio and I have been able to manage all of it with this software. I have my website posted through My Music Staff. I do all of my billing and parent communication with this software. It is one of the BEST purchases I have made for my business.

Pros

I appreciate being able to sign up for something that has a set price no matter how it is used. I like that it is simple and straightforward - with every feature being practical and useful. It's not a bunch of showy fluff. It all works and works well. It is simple to set up and is absolutely packed with useful features!

Cons

This is so minor but I wish I could link audio files or attach video files WITH/INSIDE my notes for students and classes in the Student Portal.

### "Grateful!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Awesome! A software we will use forever! It has made life much easier for me.

Pros

Its funny, what I hate most doing, is what I like best about this software. Administration! It helps me, my clients and my teachers keep track. My clients are much more grateful, especially having many kids, with many different schedules, and extra murals, sending them a reminder, really helps. I like the fact that it's user friendly, and its the only place I can use to manage everything.

Cons

That it does not have an app version. Although its great to login on the net, an App will encourage my clients to use it more often.

### "Affordable and easy to use!"

September 13, 2018

I've been a customer for several years. I've worked with at least three other services and this one is by far the easiest to work with and the most affordable. The flat pricing structure makes it easy to manage enrollment shifts throughout the year (I don't have to worry about constantly upgrading or downgrading).

Pros

I appreciate the affordable price point and that it's easy to use.

Cons

I'd really like to be able to attach files (PDF of receipts) to expense records.

### "Best Music Record Software"

September 12, 2018

5.0

I have over 60 students and this has been the best thing to help me track attendance and payments.

Pros

There are so many functions available and help manage my studio more efficiently. It has helped me to stay more organized and keep track of records better. The best thing is the price... I’ve tried other software programs before finding mymusicstaff, but none of them compares in functions AND price.

Cons

The only thing I would love to see is more options for designing your own invoice (with an uploaded template) or even more options to customize. I’d also like to see more options on the homepage. I wouldn’t necessarily say they were cons though, because I am much more content having a program that will do it for me rather than doing it own my own.
