### "Everything You Need to Run your Business Smoothly"

September 15, 2023

5.0

MyMusicStaff is intuitive, efficient, and has improved my overall teaching experience. I can't recommend MyMusicStaff enough. It's the perfect harmony of features, support, and affordability, making it an invaluable tool for music educators.

Pros

Effortless Scheduling, Comprehensive Student Management, Easy Invoicing, Automated Payment options, Professional Communication between parents and teachers, File sharing possibilities, Music Library tracking, Great support and Accessible Anywhere!

Cons

In the calendar, it would be helpful to see individual students in a group versus "2 students, 3 students" etc. without having to click to see.When reconciling a lesson, I used to be able to do individual notes even within a group. That has gone away. I'd love to see that return. Right now, if I have 2 students in a group, it only allows me to do a group message.

### "Rose Street Saxophone Room review"

September 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

Everything. I would not have survived the pandemic and been able to stay in my profession without this program. Automatic invoicing and payments, self serve scheduling, student lesson note records. These features make me look professional to my students, save me a lot of time, and make me a better teacher.

Cons

Building the calendar can be tedious, particularly when offering lesson slots at 30, 45, and 60minute offerings.

### "My Music Staff"

September 15, 2023

5.0

It has been a game changer.

Pros

Everything. In all seriousness it puts my entire studio business at my fingertips. No more keeping up with actual paper. I love that financial records are in one place, lesson notes, online resources, scheduling, text and e-mail reminders. It saves time and money. Every feature is well thought out, intuitive, and easy to use. I cannot say enough about the support staff: quick, definitive answers to all of my questions and wonderful tutorials available.

Cons

My only complaint is that I do not utilize all of the wonderful features.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

The staff came to TMTA Convention and walked me through it and mentioned the free trial. Nothing to lose.

### "Life saver!"

September 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

My favorite features about MMS that have saved me so much time and energy are auto-invoicing, auto-pay, and Stripe Integration. I don't have to worry about my billing processes anymore, and it is so relieving! My student's and their parents are also a huge fan of how easy it is.

Cons

They are in the process of doing a massive update, and there have been some kinks to work through. But I don't have any major complaints about this - I like the changes they are making!

### "Invaluable aid to any private music teacher"

December 7, 2018

5.0

I switched to MyMusicStaff two years ago after using another software for several years. I was reluctant to switch everything over, but the other app had become unreliable. So glad I did it! The monthly rate is VERY reasonable and the learning curve easily managed. I do get good help from support and they have helped me work out a few little things that I had hung up on. I could not manage my studio of 29 private piano students without this app!

Pros

Hard to choose! I depend on so many facets of MyMusicStaff every day. Perhaps Scheduling is the best aspect, but Accounting is near the top. The calendar is super easy for ongoing daily lesson scheduling and is accessible to parents for canceling and rescheduling, with no attention from me required. I even schedule available make-up slots and parents make us of them. Accounting is a huge time-saver! Every detail is there and doesn't take much time to comprehend. Ongoing lesson rates, special rates for certain families, automatic or nonautomatic billing, make-up credits--they really know what a music teacher needs!

Cons

Not much of a minus, but I'd like a little more flexibility with attendance reports. But I have worked out a way to get what I need.

December 12, 2018

Hey Cynthia! Thank you for trusting your business to My Music Staff. We're happy that you decided to make the switch. The flexibility you were hoping to add to the reporting had to do with knowing the number of lessons a student had in a given period. You can actually already do this by creating a "Lessons Taught" report from the "Studio Reports" menu.

### "Fantastic service! Efficient customer service!"

March 24, 2020

5.0

MMS software is laid out in an organised manner, so it is very easy to use. But customer service are always at hand to answer your questions. They send very clear instructions and a lot of effort is put into making sure it is easy to understand. It is a very worth while investment.

Pros

MMS software is laid out in an organised manner, so it is very easy to use. I use it for invoicing families (using the automatic invoicing option) and scheduling lessons and find it very useful tool for both. I record lesson notes from each students lesson and upload resources to the online resources section. Which is a one stop shop for all your students to access sheet music, backing tracks and anything else you want them to have access to. You can input non teaching days and events like student gigs into the calendar section for you and your students to see (you can make events private too if you dont want students to see). The newest feature allows students to access online lessons from their home screen or calendar. This makes is more streamlined for studnets and means everything is in one place. Fantastic feature!

Cons

I would love if there was an option for families to choose email settings. Like whether or not they want receipts emailed, or if the want event reminders etc. It would also be great if you could have an option to attach receipt to the lesson notes when emailing, to reduce the amount of emails they are receiving.

### "MMS is my best "employee""

September 15, 2023

5.0

I have realized benefits in terms of saving my time and energy manually tracking billing/attendance, etc. I can't say enough good things.

Pros

What I most like is that the software is intuitive, and makes my life as a teacher/administrator SO much easier.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say--I've been using MMS since I started my music instruction business 9 years ago, and it has been my "best employee."

September 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that My Music Staff keeps my studio highly organized. I love that every teacher knows their schedule and is able to access any updates, parent information and their payroll information. I also like that parents can access their account and utilize the features. It makes the studio run much smoother!

Cons

I don't like that the invoices don't auto-regenerate before they send out reminders.

### "Best Studio Management Software Ever!"

September 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

The functionality of the software is critical to my studio. I have not seen any other studio management system that can compare to its functionality, design, or intuitiveness. I really love that I no longer have to chase down clients for money. My students parents simply pay online. Best move I ever made in my studio was signing up for My Music Staff!

Cons

I really do not have any complaints with MMS.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

MMS seemed to have all the features I wanted for my studio.

### "A musician in order"

September 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

Are you a musician, do you love to teach, and be a responsible person with your students? Then MyMusicStaff is your necessary tool. Sometimes, a physical agenda is not so useful to be well organized, in addition to only fulfilling the function of scoring, exposing itself to be able to erase the information or not be readable any annotation. Being in the 21st century, it is necessary to use modern tools that help us to have a well-structured planning that is very useful for the teacher (musician), as well as for his students. With MyMusicStaff manage your agenda, your students, your bills and much more, and most importantly, it can be taken with you from any electronic device. It also has the ability to run all day, if you need to write something down immediately. As if that were not enough, MyMusicStaff gives you the possibility to show yourself through the creation of your own virtual page, where you can expose all the musical courses you do, and above all, your brand. Although the application is paid, you have the possibility to try it for 30 days, and you will see that if you are a music teacher, it will be a vital tool for your day to day life.

Cons

The only detail against this application could have is a platform full of options. It does not seem to be a negative detail, but for people who are not used to these types of tools, they may be overwhelmed by having multiple options without knowing what is used in many cases. For tantom this application is aimed more at contemporary adults who want to live their organized life through a virtual portal. Of rest, 100% recommended.

### "Big Fan!! "

September 22, 2023

5.0

Excellent!

Pros

The calendar feature is near flawless! It is extremely easy to use and looks great.

Cons

The inability to add custom fields to our student roster. We are a non profit, so tracking grade, ethnicity, socio-economic information is crucial for us. We rely on the notes and groups function, but it isn't ideal.

### "Makes freelance teaching a breeze"

September 25, 2023

5.0

Pros

As a vocal teacher, the biggest time sink I ran into was being the middle man between my students and my calendar when it comes to scheduling. Giving my students access to the student portal to schedule themselves has freed up 3-5 hours a week! It's great to have all of my studio policies on the invoices so there are never any questions about cancellation and late fees. And, during tax time, it's super easy to print off my earnings and expenses for the year so filing is a breeze. MyMusicStaff is 100% necessary for my business!

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about My Music Staff!

It's been a life saver in how I organize my business

Pros

I am able to see my calendar, student roster and especially important, keep track of my income and expenses

Cons

I wasn't thrilled when I switched to the new version and ended up switching back to the old version. It just seemed less user friendly for me.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

It was recommended to me by other voice teachers

### "Does everything you need for a great price"

February 17, 2022

5.0

I've found that the software fits my needs. I have looked around extensively to see if there is anything out there better and currently there isn't. There are similar platforms but they are more expensive. I also like how it specifically caters to music teachers rather than a generic software for all industries.

Pros

It does everything I need it to do in terms of scheduling, billing and expenses and has other features that I use sometimes such as lesson notes, file sharing, newsletters and lending library. It also has a website included, blog and online signup.

Cons

It would be good if students were able to edit/comment on their lesson notes. Also if there could be a blog or newsletter that is not public but only accessible by your clients with the ability for them to comment.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

Mostly the price was more competitive for the same features.

I have to generate invoices for the music service that I work for, and once I've entered the relevant information, it's easy to produce these.

Pros

It's great for keeping track of expenses, student attendance and generating invoices.

Cons

I would like a feature to pause lesson schedules during school holidays.

### "Fantastic way to stay organized"

September 15, 2023

5.0

My music staff is vital in my studio. For my organization, and the ability to get paid and used for yearly, taxing purposes, and to see what all of my expenses are for the year.

Pros

I love my music stuff for its calendar and it’s invoicing features. It makes invoicing very simple for me and for my families to pay me so I actually get paid every month on time.

Cons

I don’t have anything that I like the least. But I use the repertoire section the least. Most of my students do not use the student portal or the repertoire assignment section.

### "The perfect app for managing your music studio"

September 15, 2023

5.0

In general, I'm very satisfied. It is my essential tool to organize all my lessons.

Pros

It is very easy to use and you can adapt it to any kind of needs. During my years teaching music, I changed my billing system several times and I could always adapt the app to every situation.

Cons

The repertoire section. I always think it would be great if it's linked to online resources. So when assigning a new piece the students can download the music score there.

### "Ideally for anyone managing a small music school"

August 27, 2022

5.0

Really positive. Support staff are great and there is plenty of resources to problem solve any booking requirements. It’s nice to see that the software is still being updated and invested in which makes me hopefully for the tools it will provide in the near future.

Pros

It has features that I didn’t realise I would need. It’s the best blends of resources for music teachers and management software.

Cons

The experience on phones feels clunky and difficult to navigate. All my staff use it on their phones and would prefer an app that is more condensed for just their day of teaching.

September 22, 2023

4.0

Easy enough to set up and use. The customer help is responsive and helpful. Great for scheduling and running online lessons and passing tracks . . . online to families.

Pros

They gave me an option to return to the mode that I had learned and was comfortable with after they made an update that I did not enjoy.

Cons

New features that made everything overcomplicated with no added value to me.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

They were too confusing for set-up and resource sharing and didn't take care of the online lesson links.

It was the first app we used for our schedules and it works

Cons

### "Life saver!"

September 13, 2018

5.0

Overally, My Music Staff completely streams my music teaching, making it so much easier to look up attendance, lesson notes, what repertoire they are working on or have requested, who has borrowed books, and most importantly, the invoicing saves me hours of work and has resulted in me getting paid on time - less manually chasing up parents who haven't paid. More parents are paying attention to what I have asked the students to do at home, whereas they never consulted the music diaries I used to write their assignments in. I couldn't live without it!

Pros

My Music Staff saves me SO much time! Automated billing and late payment reminders means I receive an income on time (and saves me hours each month when I used to manually create invoices for every student, sometimes late!), plus the central storage of notes means I don't have to rely on students bringing their music diaries along, which more often than not were forgotten at home.

Cons

Some aspects of the billing are fiddly and took a lot of trial and error to work out, such as trying to invoice for lesson books separately to lessons and not have the invoice coming out as already being paid when it wasn't.

### "Fantastic Features beat only by Stellar Service!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

The team at My Music Staff are actively involved with the teacher community and LISTEN to their consumers. Updates are constantly being made and in real-time, reflecting the discussions and suggestions that come from their network of administrative users. Each concern or contact with the staff is handled professionally and efficiently.

Pros

Through My Music Staff, I have been able to manage a non-profit professional music organization that houses 10 choral ensembles, 8 group classes, full musical theater workshops, half a dozen teachers and hundreds of students of all ages in one seamless portal. The ease of media streaming, billing, and schedule management through the "Portal" has helped elevate our communication among our members.

Cons

While groups are quite useful and automatically updated in the media area, it would be useful for the groups to update in the calendar when a new member registers (or at least to have the ability to turn on that feature)

I really like this app. It’s easy to use and it makes my life much easier.

Pros

It makes everything organize and easy to manage. I have all my students information together, lesson reminders, which parents like a lot plus sending homework directly to parent’s email.

Cons

I would add more functions, such as recital resources for printing programs, more interactive games.
