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. ----- ### "Incredible Product" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *04 October 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It simplifies everything - sign up process, scheduling, lesson reminders, email and text blasts, billing, lesson notes. And it makes me look more professional in the process. > > **Cons**: There was a bit of a learning curve, but the free zoom call orientation was helpful. Currently - I'm switching over to sending lesson notes via my music staff (I used to do it in email threads). I don't like how students need to log in to view my attachments, it would be better if they could just simply download them from the email they are sent. Also, the repertoire and online resources sections to me feel like they should be combined into one thing. I don't find the repertoire section very useful, because all of the repertoire I want to assign comes with a PDF I've made. I'd love to be able to "assign repertoire" and that actually just links them to my PDF > > It's an excellent product and I'm glad to be using it. It's really helped me to feel like I have my business under control where in the past its felt chaotic. Being more organized has helped me to take on more students. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "My Music Staff saved my life\!" — 5.0/5 > **Megan** | *09 October 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Has saved me a ton of time with auto-invoicing and automated reminders for lessons and payments\! > > **Cons**: There is little that I dislike about it. It would possibly be nice to have an app for my phone, but the website works just fine on my phone. It could be nice to have a link to share with families when you are getting started with the site with an informational video or instructions. > > My Music Staff has saved me so much time and mental energy\! It has truly saved my life and given me the time and energy to be a better teacher and more well-rounded teacher. I now manage a studio of 40 private students with minimal admin time. ----- ### "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
