## Reviews

### "Transforming the management of my music school" — 4.0/5

> **Raul Antonio** | *30 June 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and the sheer number of features it offers is great. The software is very intuitive and has allowed me to automate many tasks that used to take a lot of time. From scheduling to invoice generation, everything is done quickly and efficiently.
> 
> **Cons**: One aspect that has caused me some frustration is the lack of customization options in the software. Although the interface is easy to use, I would like more flexibility to tailor the system to the specific needs of my music school.
> 
> From the moment I started using this software, it has significantly simplified and improved the administration of my music school.

### "Melton Music Musicbiz review" — 4.0/5

> **Jasmine** | *28 April 2020* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: \*Intergration with accounting software and direct debit soulutions
\*All-in-one solution for enrollments, bookings, staff worked hours, invoicing.
\*Customer portal with remote lessons option
\*Notifications
> 
> **Cons**: \*needs the Ability to send digital certificates to customers when a skill level is completed
\*Text messaging - needs ability to purchase in block packs  rather than per text to reduce per text cost. eg 100 text $10.00 or 500 texts $25.00 etc.
\*needs a student portal where teachers can send through pdf files, mp3s, midi files etc. to encourage students to practice more often and guide their practice. One way might be integration with "Musicate" app or similar features as "Musico.io"
\*ability to delete invoices in Xero when deleted in Musicbiz
\*simplified way to setup subscription enrollment options, for parents who don't want to enrol term by term. Perhaps a recurring enrollment option (2 lessons or 4 lessons at a time) that we switch off if and when the student cancels. This should be setup with automatic Direct debit payments.
> 
> \*admin takes less than half the time it used to before using musicbiz.
\*accounting is seamlessly integrated so come BAS time there is less admin to do.
\* updates since we first started using Musicbiz have vastly improved and continue to improve the functionality and usability of the product.

> 
> **Pros**: MusicBiz will improve and automate all of those time consuming admin jobs you hate no matter the size of the studio
> 
> **Cons**: Could improve on the loading of the software it's a bit slow
>

### "MusicBiz is an excellent product making management seamless" — 5.0/5

> **Bronwen** | *27 April 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This database is the only one we need to manage our database of over 800 students and 25 music teachers. We can schedule lessons, track attendance, send emails and texts, create and send bulk invoices and manage enrolments. 
MusicBiz is intuitive and easy to use and integrates with other software packages such as Xero and other direct debit companies.
> 
> **Cons**: MusicBiz has provided the ability to store links to online meeting software, which has helped us transition online for the COVID-19 Pandemic. It would be great if ThinkSmart could create their own online meeting platform that is tailor made for the music lesson industry.
> 
> MusicBiz has an Australian technical team, who are available to work through any problems with us. This is such a distinct advantage of the software.

### "Good option to manage your music lessons" — 4.0/5

> **James** | *08 August 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Allow me to participate in different classes with different teachers, one for each different instrument I was trying to learn. Very easy and practical to use. Very easy to schedule missed classes
> 
> **Cons**: I believe it could have more integrations with other apps
> 
> I used it for a long time when I was taking a lot of classes and it helped me a lot
