It takes care of my scheduling, it streamlines weekly practice assignments, it has a practice log for students, it lists repertoire completed and ongoing with performance dates, it keeps my accounting in order, it makes my income tax return easy, it gives out student tax receipts, it lists student names and addresses so families can contact each other if they need to exchange lessons, it handles lesson cancellation and make-up lesson registration without my having to be involved, it makes emailing notices a piece of cake, and......... I could go on and on. It even has features that I hadn't thought of to make my life as a piano teacher easier and also better organized. Unlike any other online service I've ever used, whenever there's a question or problem, the support staff answer and solve it within 2 or 3 days. They have even redesigned parts of the program when I've raised a problem. The staff at My Music Staff are dedicated to providing us with the best program possible, and review and update features on an ongoing basis. Without My Music Staff, I couldn't possible have taken on the high number of hours of teaching I now enjoy. Time spent on administration is now minimal, and I can spend my time doing what I really love - teaching\! > > **Cons**: Very small little things that I haven't even bothered to message in. One is that the assignment notes are linked to the name of the event, so when for example Lucy comes for an extra lesson, which is ID'd as an extra lesson, the practice notes will transfer from Lucy's last extra lesson, not from her last regular lesson. Similar thing happens when the student comes for a make up lesson - the notes that come up are from their last make up lesson, which might have been six months ago. I have to go in to the last regular lesson, copy, then back to the make up lesson and paste. Then do the same thing again to transfer the notes from the make up lesson to the NEXT regular lesson. The second thing that comes to mind is that students cannot enter their repertoire themselves, unless it's already on the studio list of repertoire. But I can see that it's probably been changed this way to rule out mistakes the student might make (spelling, opus number, length of piece etc.) I can't think of anything else. Oh yes - I don't really like having to go to Facebook if I have a question. I preferred getting an answer from the support staff, rather than multiple suggestions as to how I might.......... from other users. > > As I wrote above, all the administration and accounting is taken care of, leaving me time to teach more students and more hours. I also appreciate the responsive staff, who have always taken care of any wrinkles in the system or any of the problems I might be having within a very short space of time. ----- ### "Love it\! Scheduling DREAM\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jamie** | *24 September 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Helps SO MUCH with scheduling\! Takes out the coordinating schedules component, and puts the responsibility on the parents to log in and find an opening. > > **Cons**: No complaints here\! However, it's just me and 16-20 students, so I don't use ALL the features. ----- ### "Looks great on the website, doesn't it?" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 April 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: MMS promises to handle all of your music studio needs, from scheduling to billing to communications, and indeed, it has modules for all of those plus repertory records, lending library management, downloadable/playable resources, and even mileage. So if you want software that LOOKS like it does everything, you've found it\! > > **Cons**: None of these modules seem actually to have been tested by actual music teachers. Scheduling is ridiculously complicated, especially when students want to cancel or reschedule. Billing leads to a minimum of five confused emails from parents each month because of MMS's bizarre policies regarding past-due payments and account balances. Emails cannot be sent to students and parents simultaneously—they're automatically BCC'ed, leading to confusing message threads and miscommunications. Even the lesson notes and blog features are poorly handled—they don't auto-save, so an accidental tab closure can lead to the loss of an entire lesson's worth of notes, and formatting is bizarrely non-standard. (Don't even think about cutting and pasting.) > > I was SO excited to find this service. But I've been SO disappointed in them, and can't wait to transfer everything to a new service later this year. ----- ### "I can take on more students now\!" — 5.0/5 > **Evelyn** | *29 August 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Keeping up with my invoicing and payments has been a game changer\! > > **Cons**: I’d like my emails to look more professional like a newsletter. I don’t know how. > > I tried another business software, but it didn’t meet all of my needs as a music teacher. This is the whole package. ----- ### "Great for starting a studio\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *31 October 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's been so easy to invoice students \& track my mileage. Love how inexpensive it is as I'm just starting my studio this makes things easier for me to focus on other expenses. > > **Cons**: I would love to be able to edit the blogs a bit more. > > It's been a great experience\! I haven't had any issues with it thus far and have been using it for the last 7 months. ----- Page: 1 / 31\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/1974051/my-music-staff?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/1974051/my-music-staff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
