### "Saves me every year"

September 16, 2023

4.0

I am not the most organized person, and this site helps me stay in top of payments, sending out invoices, tracking attendance changes. I’m

Pros

Helps me keep track of income and expenses for taxes and gives me the resources to help my students, keep track of my schedule, launch online classes, and more

Cons

I find the current interface on mobile a little clunkier, but definitely not a deal breaker

### "A timesaver"

September 15, 2023

4.0

Help is great. When you need it they are there for you.

Pros

The time it saves me is incredible, especially for the lesson payments.

Cons

The switch to the French version was done automatically and maybe too fast without telling us. Since a lot of terms didn't make sense in French ( the translation was not always great) it was very confusing trying to remember what it used to be in English to be able to understand it.

### "Helps keep my day in order"

September 16, 2023

5.0

Positive overall. Good support when needed.

Pros

I love that parents can be reminded about their lesson times each day, and I have my day planned out just when I open the app.

Cons

I haven't used many other features so don't say too much. I don't like that the calendar always goes back to the start of the month and it takes time to find the current date.

### "MyMusicStaff Runs My Piano Lesson Studio"

September 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that everything is in one place. My student and parent info, scheduling, emailing, billing, payroll, tax reports, expenses--it's all right there. I also love that it was specifically created with a music studio owner in mind. It is streamlined for my industry, and that is so helpful.

Cons

Sometimes the program moves a little slow. And occasionally some of the features do not work quite how they are supposed to. But these occasions are rare.

### "Great time saver!"

September 15, 2023

5.0

My overall experience has been amazing. My music staff has made daily tasks manageable and has given me more time back in my schedule.

Pros

My music staff helps to alleviate any stress from running my business. Auto invoicing, attendance and scheduling are all a breeze.

Cons

I have no negative comments to make about this software.

### "Fantastic Program, Highly Recommend"

September 21, 2021

5.0

Overall I could not be happier with this product. Truly it is game changing for anyone trying to set up their own studio. I can recommend it highly enough

Pros

The scheduling, attendance tracking, lesson notes, and invoicing have been essential to me starting my first private music studio. Being able to customize nearly all the elements on the platform is fantastic and the ease of incorporating my own branding and website was phenomenal. Besides all this they provide excellent customer service and have the best "help" tool of any platform I have used.

Cons

The invoice page occasionally sets the end date and the 1st of the following month when displaying payments due. This can cause confusion but it easily fixed once the issue is spotted. It would be nice to be able to include Interac/E-transfer as a payment method on invoices as PayPal very frustrating to use as a new business.

### "Best Bang for the Buck"

September 12, 2018

5.0

One of the biggest draws for me was the price. I get a \*lot\* of functionality for a price that doesn't break the bank. As a (very!) small business trying to keep afloat, this means a lot.

Pros

I have tried many types of music studio management software; online, offline, big, little and in-between. My Music Staff is the best, hands down. The price is extremely reasonable, with no increases for larger studios. I can communicate with my students and parents easily, and put together invoices with just a few clicks. I find it intuitive, and their customer support is very helpful and responsive. I can access it on multiple devices, so my students' needs are taken care of no matter where I am. I recommend it to all music studios, large and small.

Cons

I wish there were more default choices, and I would like to see it a bit easier to create invoices for semester/yearly based tuition.

### "You Need This in Your Life!"

September 13, 2018

5.0

Customer support is very helpful!

Pros

I don't generate invoices until I have my schedule set. Once I have my schedule for the month/semester/etc figured out, I create invoices and send them to parents. I love that this program makes it easy to create and send invoices based on the schedule. What used to take me HOURS now takes minutes. I also like how it tracks payments, adjustments, etc in the program so that even parents can see. No more angry parents claiming they paid when they simply forgot; they can see everything. My studio size doubled because I am so much more organized with everything. I also love that students can see notes that I've taken, assignments, download music, etc. I also send out mass messages for my upcoming concerts which is posted on the group studio page. ALSO I love that it automatically sends reminder texts and emails. I rarely have students forget to come to their lessons anymore (and when they do, I just remind them of my cancellation policy, so I never lose any dollars). I love this program. Just amazing. I will never use anything else.

Cons

I wish there was an phone app that would allow me to work offline. I frequently work in practice rooms that block out cell phone signal, so I can't load students' notes when I teach. Also, It took forever to figure out how to navigate through the site at first. Lastly, I wish I could figure out how to automatically send my students their lesson schedule for the month (not essential since it is listed in the invoice, but I would like to have the kids get a list of lesson times in the email).

### "Time Saver"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Invoicing, billing, emailing, scheduling and accounting can take up a lot of time and My Music Staff saves time and prevents costly mistakes. I don't think I could be without it!

Pros

I like the look and feel of it - it is modern and sleek unlike other software I have tried. It is easy to use and customize. The features are great and it saves on time and money. My customers can cancel and reschedule their own lessons which is a lifesaver. I can keep on top of invoicing, receipts and expenses. I can keep a record of book lending and can share files easily with customers as individuals or in groups. At the moment I am expanding my business and I would not even be able to consider this without My Music Staff.

Cons

It doesn't have an android app - which I think customers would use more as it would be quicker than on the web, plus push notifications would be really useful for being reliable and on time for me and for my customers. I hope they consider implementing it, although I do find the mobile site incredibly good.

### "Life is more organised with MMS"

September 22, 2023

5.0

It has made running my business easier by being able to plan my lessons in the calendar. Having reminders sent to clients with out me needing to do it.

Pros

When I need to update my clients with what is happening in the studio I can send an email out to everyone to be updated. I love how MMS can text or email clients to remind them about their lesson.

Cons

There maybe some features I’m not using that I could but unsure what other features I could use.

### "Best software for music teachers - hands down "

September 22, 2023

5.0

Very positive! It is easy to use, clear for students and a great way to ensure my business is running efficiently.

Pros

I have been using My Music Staff since 2018 and I love how it just automates my whole teaching business. Everything is organized, clear and professional. Can't do without it now!

Cons

Sometimes I think of niche situations whereby the calendar/scheduling system could be tweaked a little bit, but I usually find a workaround pretty quickly.

Reason for choosing My Music Staff

Seemed more modern, easier to use. I also saw my music staff at several music conferences I attended and went to their workshop.

### "Very useful product for mid-size school. "

September 15, 2023

4.0

We were able to easily import all of our data from our previous program, and MMS tracks information that we didn't know was even useful for us at the time. The calendar scheduling is easy to use and very very very very nice.

Pros

Compared to teh software we were using, MMS is super user friendly, easy to learn, and accurate. It has reduced our admin time for lesson management year over year by more than 50%.

Cons

I wish that there was the option for package billing. We offer services as calendar based billing, and as package billing for our introductory clients. MMS does not support package billing.

### "Great product "

September 22, 2023

5.0

I think overall, My Music Staff is a great product. I have enjoyed using it, it's a great price, and the customer service is great.

Pros

My Music Staff is very helpful for me to manage my piano studio. My favorite part about the system is the free website where I can post my studio policy, information about myself, and direct students to register for lessons.

Cons

I am struggling a lot to learn how to use the invoicing system. It may just be a learning curve (I have only used it for a few months), but I have not figured it out yet. Since my students do not pay me online, I would love to have a user-friendly way to input payment data manually.

### "Crucial to my Business"

September 22, 2023

4.0

I've been very happy overall using My Music Staff, especially since before I had no management software or website and was tracking payments, lesson times, and other things on a makeshift spreadsheet. My studio is much more professional now and it's made life so much easier for me!

Pros

I love the calendar, website, student management, automatic invoicing, and expense tracker. They are all crucial for me to run my business smoothly.

Cons

Some features are not super clear on how to use them (for instance crediting an account), but thankfully I've been able to use their help search and eventually figure out how to do something I am trying to do. I've used it quite a bit in figuring things out.

Pros

As a single mom, I can’t express how busy my life is. Mymusicstaff is the best personal assistant that keeps track of everything to help me run my music studio smoothly and with great success.

Cons

Nothing negative to say. This website is a lifesaver for my business.

### "I highly recommend..."

November 4, 2022

4.0

4.5 starts, I am very happy with MMS and recommend it to all teachers and music school owners.

Pros

I was able to reduce 3 platforms into one and cover attendance, email, and student content management

Cons

sometimes it's clunky, the attendance function can be unnecessarily long because you have to click multiple times instead of having a checkbox. The embeded website form isn't trackable by google analitics

Pros

I love everything about MyMusicStaff. It is a great tool and they are constantly making it look better and fresher!

Cons

I would the thing I don’t like the most is that one it’s not it’s own standalone app, I wish there could be more push notifications for things like attendance or cancellations.

### "MMS is a solid product which covers most of the bases"

September 12, 2018

4.0

MMS has made scheduling quite efficient. It is fairly easy to navigate once you get used to it. We have been using it for a long time and I know there are features I haven't even gotten to yet. I don't think we've worked with the support team much as we've been able to figure things out. I would be very interested in taking a live class if it were offered just to appreciate the full potential of the software.

Pros

I especially like the attendance notes. It informs our students (parents) what is to be expected at the next lesson. This is especially good for parents who are not particularly musical, to remind the child specifics of the practice material. I also like the auto reminder sent for next day classes. This gives the student an opportunity to cancel class in time to qualify for a make up class. And, if a class had been verbally cancelled, but the teacher did not log it as such, (s)he is reminded that the class has been cancelled.

Cons

I wish there was an entry to list the specific instrument being taught at each class. We can list the instrument in the student information section, but it'd be more convenient if it were right there on the calendar. Many instructors teach multiple disciplines and knowing which is being taught at a given class would make it easier for us to book the right room and/or the right substitute.

Hey Jack! You can actually create custom event categories. This would be a great way to detail what instrument is being taught. We'd be happy to walk you through the steps. Send an email to support@mymusicstaff.com or click "Help" in the top right-hand corner of your account and do a quick search for "custom event".

### "So happy with MMS"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Really great - my teachers really enjoy their time using the application and managing their students and the body of work for each individual. We found tax time a breeze because of the reporting function and we would love to set up PayPal too. Great system and great service. The facebook group is a welcome feature.

Pros

The calendar is user friendly and turns a nightmare of scheduling into a recurring dream (and it syncs to my iPhone's calendar!! Woot!)

Cons

I would really love to have an administrator option that was clearly defined and separated all the details from teachers. I have someone in my business who doesn't teach and purely administrates and so clear definition for an administrator would be great!

This has transformed my studio from a mess to organized! Thank you for being my fairy godmother My Music Staff! I have everything in one place: calendar, invoices, download library, expense tracking, newsletter creation and more!

Pros

Everything organized! I have a lot of downloads and this has been a big plus for me and my studio community. And Can I Just Tell You That Collecting Payment IS Accomplished Almost By Magic! I think this is my biggest take away from this program. My bookkeeping headaches are no more!

Cons

No ability to text communique. I would love to have text option in a dropdown menu to easily text multiple families at once.

September 19, 2019

I use MMS daily and it is a crucial resource for the success of my studio. The price point is fantastic. Overall I am a very pleased customer.

Pros

I have used my Music Staff software for almost 3 years. I've tried other programs but I believe that MMS is the BEST resource for your money!

Cons

The only issues I've run into are just minor in detail. I kinda would like there to be an app and maybe a better functionality on mobile devices.

September 22, 2023

We now have a reliable, accurate schedule for our music lessons and a clearer look at how our business is doing.

Pros

For a long time we were looking for a quality solution for scheduling lessons for our music school and we were ecstatic to find My Music Staff. And now that i iintegrates with our POS we are set!

Cons

Occasional glitches, but the team does get on those quickly. Sometimes connecting a customer file to our POS fails a few times, so a more seemless customer file connection would be preferred.

### "Switched from similar software and never looked back."

September 12, 2018

5.0

The number of families now comfortable with My music staff for information and payment has increased exponentially saving us time and money. Our families are impressed by the professional software, and I love the transparency and organization we offer to clients and employees about how the business runs.

Pros

Very user friendly for both parents and employees (we are a multi teacher school) Love how responsive the MMS team is, both with constant updates to the program (and often based on client requests) to attentive support when there are issues. Price point can't compare to some of the alternatives. I love that it is based on the number of teachers, so doesn't penalize us for getting more students (ie. being a successful business!) like a per/student rate.

Cons

It has a lot of functionality with reports that is not so intuitive. Accessing the data in ways that may be useful to a business can often mean trying lots of different reports and tweaking the settings slightly to get the right report. We accept payments in studio via Payd and have to enter these manually into MMS. Would love some way to connect these, or to be able to accept canadian debit cards (require chip readers).
