About My Music Staff
My Music Staff is a cloud-based music school management software designed to help private teachers and music studios handle students, lessons, invoices, payments, attendance, expenses, billing, and more. Managers can send text messages to remind students and parents about scheduled lessons or events and generate weekly, monthly, annual, or custom invoices.
My Music Staff allows private teachers to record and track attendance, add notes to lessons, and accept payments from customers via credit cards, automated clearing house (ACH), bank transfers, cash, and cheques. Administrators can generate reports to gain visibility into sales tax, expenses, billed hours, student retention, completed lessons, and payroll, among other metrics, and export them into PDF or Microsoft Excel format. It provides a self-service portal, which can be used by parents and students to view upcoming lessons, monitor attendance, access invoice details or teachers' contact information, and cancel booked sessions. School administration can also store student information including contact details, attendance, lesson notes, practice time, and repertoire in a centralized repository.
My Music Staff facilitates integration with various video conferencing, calendar, website building, and payment processing applications such as PayPal, Stripe, Zoom, Wix, Skype, Weebly, and more. Music studios can also organize schedules for lessons, recitals, or other events by grouping teachers based on instruments or locations.

Couldn't run my music school without it
Reviewed on 7/8/2019
Pros
It is extremely simple and easy to use. I only use the Students, Family and Calendar portions of it, and it serves well beyond what I need it for. So easy to view schedule and filter and organize it based on location, teacher, student, etc. i LOVE , as do the parents, the 24-hour in advance automatic reminders auto-texted or e-mailed (your choice).
Cons
Besides a couple of very minor workflow impedances, it would be nice to integrate the calendar with an existing website, rather than only having the option to do so with the current website.

I've found that the software fits my needs. I have looked around extensively to see if there is anything out there better and currently there isn't. There are similar platforms but they are more expensive. I also like how it specifically caters to music teachers rather than a generic software for all industries.
Pros
It does everything I need it to do in terms of scheduling, billing and expenses and has other features that I use sometimes such as lesson notes, file sharing, newsletters and lending library. It also has a website included, blog and online signup.
Cons
It would be good if students were able to edit/comment on their lesson notes. Also if there could be a blog or newsletter that is not public but only accessible by your clients with the ability for them to comment.

Overall, it is a very useful product and we have been using it for more than 6 months. We definitely see a lot of benefits in process simplification as well as tracking and reporting.
Pros
Scheduling and attendance tracking are done for a music school and the attendance result has all the possible iterations. The student notes and lesson tracking is amazing and has been very helpful. Possibility to group students by family is also very useful.
Cons
Multiple locations : Accounting can not be split over locations.
Family account : no display of balance in terms of lessons (only amount)
Retention report : Figures include Trial, Waiting List, and Lead. Retention per teacher is not accurate.

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.
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.)

My overall experience has been amazing. The customer service reps are so kind and helpful, and the software itself has given me all I need to run my flute studio in one website.
Pros

Cons
Nothing! I like everything about this software.
