Communication is a key factor in my studio ethics. > > **Cons**: I dont use the accounting side of the program as i find it too clunky. It would be good if it worked with external accounting software like Myob. It would also be good if it was developed as an app as opposed to a webpage. > > Overall i am really happy with this software. I can see all my studio classes from all my teachers on one page, scheduling is so easy. Ive been using it now for almost 4 years and dont plan on changing it anytime soon. I know there are now other software packages around that do the same things but i feel "If it aint broke why fix it"? ----- ### "it’s awesome\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kat** | *27 May 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the Payment and billing, lesson scheduling, business reports, and the studio management tools. > > **Cons**: not the fault of MMS, but occasionally reminders just stop being sent for lessons. In the early days, customer support was quicker with replies. > > My studio was growing and becoming a bit of a shambles in the back end of the operation. I was losing track of what students owed, and on occasions I was double booking lessons. Now everyone gets a reminder for lessons times (\& a reminder invoice if they’re overdue in paying). I am now running what conveys as a professional studio (as a sole trader), with students respecting my time and professionalism by arriving on time and paying by the due dates. Students are often surprised there isn’t an admin team involved in my business, my workflow has improved and my stress levels of keeping up with accounts etc has decreased enormously. I can concentrate on my teaching\! I’d recommend anyone considering the platform to jump on board, you won’t regret it\! ----- ### "I’m Enamoured" — 5.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *28 May 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has saved me time and energy. I love the fact that it can hassle my clients who are slow to pay. Tech support is good about replying. > > **Cons**: There’s not much to dislike. If the designers could make an app that I could download to my phone, that would be fantastic rather than going from the web. > > I really love it and I have already recommended it to other music teachers. Anything that can save me laborious time typing up invoices in Word is fantastic. ----- ### "Why My Studio Loves My Music Staff" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *27 May 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using My Music Staff since 2020. It only gets better with time. I love how easy it is for me to organize my teaching, keep records on my students and digitally send them lesson notes, communicate with students and parents, schedule students, keep track of missed lessons, make up lesson, etc. It even allows me to create a website with support. I use My Music Staff for all of my invoicing and sending receipts to families as well as keeping track of my finances. It covers all of my admin needs and more. > > **Cons**: I wish the resources area of the platform was a little more easy to organise. It would be great if this was like a webpage with links to different areas with files (i.e. theory, aural training, repertoire for specific grades, that sort of thing). I also wish the note pages printed and emailed the same as they looked (the spacing wouldn't change). > > My experience is very positive. I've found the app quite easy to learn. When I haven't understood things, the help desk at MMS is always quick to reply to questions. I am amazed that I live on the other side of the planet (Australia) and the music studio my adult child, who lives in my old hometown of Burlington, does not use MMS and has a much less user friendly app. ----- ### "An extremely high value product" — 5.0/5 > **Isaac** | *13 November 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: After trying a number of other systems which felt like a real pain, I must say I can't find a system anywhere near as good for even double the price. There's a learning curve but it's really nothing like many others out there. TOP PROS: - Invoice for a period for all students in one hit and then email in one more. - Calendar view is powerful: attendance, great filtering by student/teacher/and many more - Setting up lessons is a breeze with conflicts detected automatically (although I wish it picked it up conflicts before pressing save, saving me a click-and-loading cycle) - Love the ability to clone days, run indefinite recurring group lessons with blocked out dates - Account management is brilliant too with a running list of billables and balance at any particular date - Sign up form is embeddable - SMS support mostly great - Notifiations to clients are great > > **Cons**: SMS INTEGRATION IS PATCHY - Fantastic for e.g. deleting a day. Except to send SMS messages needs to be activated in each profile manually which is slow - can't be turned on by default either - If the student doesn't have SMS turned on they don't get sent - Deleting lessons obscures the account: there is no longer record of that lesson even if it was previously included on an upfront invoice. - Marking a teacher absent is ideal EXCEPT there is no option to SMS all students without activating the feature in each individual profile first. NO SECOND FORM Other than the signup form - you need another service to handle this LEAD MANAGEMENT - No real (even simple) LMS, need another system. hello double handling data - Can classify as "lead" but then they can't book an open lesson. They need to be "Active" to do that, which is confusing because then they're "current students" which they aren't. It would be nice if leads could be added to lessons, then be automatically converted (semi-workaround via Student view sorting) INVOICES - need more templates \& automation for outstanding, reminder before due, overdue, overdue 7/14 days - XERO integration please\! NO STOCK MANAGEMENT - No stocking books to smooth the process. To sell, a manual entry for every book sold is required. No prefill or stock - I've stopped selling books because of this ATTENDANCE - For group lessons needs optimising too many features has bloated the process \& created too many loading panes > > My Music Staff has become indispensible and almost makes life a breeze. Accounts, invoicing and lesson management, notes and plenty more are brilliant. If they can upgrade some and smooth a couple of other areas I'd gladly pay more. ----- Page: 1 / 32\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/148451/my-music-staff?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/148451/my-music-staff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
