[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/my-music-staff-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/my-music-staff-profile/alternatives/) # My Music Staff User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.8/5 - Total reviews: 768 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.6/5 - Customer support: 4.8/5 - Value for money: 4.8/5 - Functionality: 4.6/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 633 reviews (82%) - 4 stars: 121 reviews (16%) - 3 stars: 9 reviews (1%) - 2 stars: 4 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 1 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - One of the main reasons we use MyMusicStaff for all studio communication is that every email and announcement is stored directly in your MMS message history, making it easy to go back and find information in one organized spot rather than searching through a busy inbox! - With 4 teachers on staff, we love the ability to post sheet music and tracks to the online resources for our students' weekly home-practice (with the ability to see when and how often they have accessed the resource). - I was so stuck thinking I had to actually manage my calendar and billing on paper. But once I took the time to give it a try and learn how to set up my calendar, billing, and more, it opened a whole new world of possibility and ease! ### Most mentioned cons - The cost is really negligeable for someone that has even 4-5 students. When you get to the point where your teaching 20 kids, the cost savings in time is hundreds to thousands of dollars. - I shouldn't have to force a client to pull out there phone and click a bunch of links to be able to pay and have the payment tracked automatically. - One of my main issues is with the html wigits that you can use on your website. ## My Music Staff customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 768 (page 1). ### Why My Studio Loves My Music Staff - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nicole Q. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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). #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff The main reason was you gave a reasonable amount of time for trial so I really had a chance to see what it was like and I was very impressed with your support teams' response time to questions. --- ### I love MMS! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kinnie D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. I recommend MMS to all of my music teacher friends. It's the best platform I've ever used. I tried some other platforms, just to see what was out there, but came back to MMS for the value, the ease, and the efficiency of use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've been using My Music Staff since 2018. The platform is incredibly user-friendly. Customer Service is EXCELLENT. They are always adding in new features and upgrading the system to better suit us as teachers. #### Cons Sometimes I have issues with the Forms section. I've found some workarounds that get me to what I need. #### Reasons for switching to My Music Staff I hated that my families weren't connected. It was awful. I also didn't like their calendar or automated payment set up. --- ### Great product for private piano studios - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christina S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My Music Staff is imperative to my business and I’m thankful to have it #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have tried other programs similar to my Music Staff. I have found this to be the most user-friendly. But when I can’t figure out how to do some thing, customer service is quick to respond and help me to resolve my problems. #### Cons There have been a few glitches with the upgrade, but overall, I think My Music Staff has handled things well --- ### Massive EFFICIENCY Gains - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Wyatt H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Over all I can say that it has been positive. It really has. I would not be able to run my business as efficiently, or really at all, without it. The cost is really negligeable for someone that has even 4-5 students. When you get to the point where your teaching 20 kids, the cost savings in time is hundreds to thousands of dollars. I haven't really had to work with customer support, so I can't speak to that. The user interface is reasonable. Some of the items could be more efficiently placed, like the lack ability to send emails without going to the student list. If you don't know where something is, you'll be able to find it within a couple of minutes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I love the automatic invoicing and billing options. I'm a solo music teacher running a studio of 45 families on my own, and the main reason i sought out my music staff was because I was spending 20-30 hours a month manually creating invoices and sending them out by email. The last time I did that was when I had 25 families, and it was unmanageable. 45 families would not be possible without my music staff to help me. #### Cons One of my main issues is with the html wigits that you can use on your website. A while ago, there were a couple calendar wigits released to make "client self scheduling" possible. For someone who only wants clients to be able to schedule lessons for them selves, that's great. For me, it's not, because I only allow clients to start taking lessons from me once they've gone through a free consultation where we talk about policies, procedures, billing, and scheduling. I would only want to allow people to "self-schedule" for consultations. but even if I change the available timeslot on the calendar to say "consultation" for some reason the html wigit will not only say its a "consultation" but also a "lesson". which means people would show up confused about what kind of session they're doing unless i scheduled them manually. This is a clarity issue that I could not allow on my website, so I had to stay in a manual scheduling setup. there also doesn't seem to be a method of integrating a physical POS into my music staff. If I take a payment from someone using a credit card, NO I do not want to have to input that data manually after the fact. And NO I do not want everyone to pay through the portal. I shouldn't have to force a client to pull out there phone and click a bunch of links to be able to pay and have the payment tracked automatically. This is a feature that would make my life INFINITELY easier. But I also doubt it's coming in the next year or 2. I won't leave because it's not there, but I will be sitting here with a constant level of 3/5 satisfaction. --- ### Best we have tried - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elias C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. So far, so good, MMS covers all our needs...it has all a music school needs. The customer service support is very good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is affordable, simply, easy to manage. We tried several other service and MMS covers all our needs. We have been working with MMS for more than 8 years #### Cons Bugs with make up reports, and lack of information on the general reports. Most of the reports have confusing data, complex to understand. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff Easy to use, offer demo without hiden terms, afforable --- ### Extensive offerings, couldn't have succeeded in starting my business without them. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Becky R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall very good, got me to a fantastic start with my online music lesson business. Couldn't have done it without them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I love the integration of administration and web site builder. Easy to use with very good customer support. Extensive offerings, really incredible. #### Cons I switched because at the time the web builder was not very modern (this has since been updated). Also, I could not have students auto-reschedule in 15min increments. Otherwise, I really liked it. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff I switched to Fons from My music staff for the easier auto pay and auto self schedule features. --- ### Excellent way to manage your music studio! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeanne K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Excellent experience! Website works great. I just wish I could get my parents and students to use it. I have no complaints. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This service makes my piano teaching life so much easier! Keeping track of each student, payment and billing, and even having a repertoire list is so helpful! I have used one other service that wasn’t nearly as good and before that I did everything by hand. It is very easy to use and I rarely have a problem. When I do there is quick, personal help available. So worth the money I pay each month! #### Cons I wish that Mac would allow me to use all the symbols available. If I’m not mistaken the problems that I tend to have are Mac related. --- ### I love My Music Staff - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sally L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Once you have created profiles for your students and have created your calendar, you are off and running to making your life easier and organized. This product keeps track of everything. The price is right too! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My Music Staff has made scheduling, invoicing, keeping track of payments and expenses, contacting parents and creating reports for my accountant a breeze. You can customize your invoices and set up automatic reminders for payment. Customer service (you get to talk to a real person!) is terrific at answering questions and guiding me through the process of my issues. My Music Staff offers so much more than I will ever use (and more than I will ever know about). #### Cons Setting up the student accounts and calendar initially is the most tedious part of this process. Learning how the product works and making your way around it can be frustrating at first but the customer service department is great at helping you through it. --- ### Music Lesson Planner's Dream - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Graham V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. I love it. It makes my planning so stress free. I am not one for spending lots of time in front of a computer, so this program ticks the boxes for me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I can set up music classes so easily. Because I work a revolving timetable each week, I have to change the times of each lesson so this software makes it so easy to do that. Also, because I teach music at a primary school, the school timetable changes regularly with extra curricular activities, so making changes to my timetable in MyMusic Staff is an easy task. Keeping the records of each family is so convenient and keeping track of payments etc all in the one place makes for a relaxed experience. #### Cons I would like to be able to save templates of my regular classes where everything stays the same except the time of day, where notifications don't go out until the weeks timetable is set. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff Value for money and the ease of setting up. --- ### Great Value for the Money - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lisa R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I co-run a small music lessons program. This software is perfectly designed for our needs and is especially helpful at tax time. Great value for the money. #### Cons I have no real issues and feel that, as a music teacher, this software meets my needs better than any generic solution could. --- ### Great for starting a studio! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alyssa A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff The price point primarily, but also I knew of other studios that used the program and that gave me more confidence to use it for myself. --- ### My Music Staff is great! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ashley C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I've been using MMS for about 6 years and I love seeing it improve over time. My team and myself are always excited for each new update. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros MMS is easy to use and easy to integrate into our business protocols. It helps tremendously in keeping us organized and limits the need for tons of paperwork and binders. #### Cons Missing Features:- Capability to take swiped card transaction- An easier way to track the difference between make-up lessons that were given due to teacher absence versus student absence in the student profile. Currently all issued make-up credits are grouped together in each student's profile, but since we have our studio policies set to where the students aren't penalized for teacher absences and they have a set limit of make-up credits they can receive for student absences per year it is very hard for us to track. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff The price and the fact that it is specific to music. --- ### A game changer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ruth A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Excellent, I wish I’d started using it sooner! It’s made my life running a piano teaching studio much easier and saves me a lot of time doing admin. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It’s so user friendly and has everything you need to run your business with ease. It’s also affordable and has great customer service #### Cons I don’t dislike anything about My Music Staff! It would be great if they launched an app for on the go. --- ### Made admin way easier, MMS is basically my assistant - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ash R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. So far it has made my admin work way easier, I can finally keep track of who payed & who hasn’t, and I no longer have to individually make invoices every month. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The easy way invoices are created & sent & the fact that I can keep track of all my students pieces, progress & attendance. #### Cons I really wish that it would time out when I log on with my mobile phone. It stays logged on with my pc but my phone is so much easier cause it’s always on me. --- ### Thank you, MyMusicStaff! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anna P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I appreciate the great customer service during the initial set-up. They were very patient, answered my many questions, but they also suggested effective practices that I hadn't thought of made my experience wonderful. #### Cons I haven't used it enough to have a strong con to share. I'm still learning. --- ### My Music Staff Is Great! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ryan W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, I love this program. I'm not sure that I could run my studio without it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the all-in-one inclusiveness of scheduling, bookkeeping, tracking mileage, etc. #### Cons It was quite difficult to navigate and find certain settings and features early on, and I've gotten pretty used to it but it'd be nice if certain features were a bit more streamlined and user-friendly. --- ### MMS is dope! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kayla M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I've been using MMS for 2 years now. My role has a lot to do with scheduling and emailing students. I have found that it's better to have two tabs of MMS open when I work so I don't have to flip between tabs as much. One for the Calendar and one for the student's list. I also love that we can track our employee hours and get paid through MMS. This function has simplified our payroll process a ton! And, our staff always receives their pay stubs! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love being able to manage 100s of students and 10s of teachers in MMS. We are able to easily contact every one and schedule them. #### Cons I dislike the fact that there is no API to help us connect ClickFunnels and be able to enroll our summer campers in a more streamlined way. #### Reasons for switching to My Music Staff To simplify the scheduling process and make it easier to manage the calendar. --- ### What a great program! I love my Music Staff! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeff W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered They have been helpful, quick to respond to ideas and questions and very professional. I believe it is a game changer for music teachers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like it all. Some great things are how easy it iOS for students to register, see the Cala far and notes from the teachers. They can log practice time and get to the online resources easily. I like how you can put them in groups and give access to groups on certain folders based on their group. #### Cons There isn’t much that I don’t like about my music staff. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff Ease of use. It’s way better than google sheets. --- ### Long Time User - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suzanna H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Fine Art - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very happy!!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I enjoy that I can schedule students, personal and professional on my calendar. The automated system for reminders and invoices are a Godsend and I couldn’t live without it! 8+ years of using MMS and it’s been a game changer. #### Cons The updates, it’s not super user friendly and I have to go through trial and error to understand the new features vs having a clear explanation of things that changed. The site does trip up at times and doesn’t show what I am looking for, like the calendar won’t open to the following week and I’ll have to try multiple times. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff It’s reliable and long term for me and my small business. --- ### Essential to my Online Teaching Studio! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anna F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, I love My Music Staff, and consider it an essential part of my business. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that My Music Staff integrates my Studio Calendar, my billing, and allows me to track my income and business expenses. Having all of that in one location saves me so much time when doing my taxes each year!My students find it very easy to work with when they need to swap out their lesson time occasionally. #### Cons It took me a while to understand some of the details of the invoicing process. There are still times when the charges are not what I expected them to be. --- ### My music teaching best friend - changed my life - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Clemency R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Every aspect of my music teaching life has been made better since I discovered MMS. I hate subscription models but this one is a winner; worth every penny in professionalism, time saving and peace of mind. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I discovered MMS when covid hit. It has been a god send. The monthly fee is more than saved in the time I save and what I offer to my pupils. The calendar means I can check my day at a glance despite several teaching venues which I can colour differently. Billing pupils is so easy and keeping track of their accounts is a doddle as MMS does it all for me. I log notes during the lesson which I send to parents or pupils, or both, at the end of the lesson by clicking a box. When it comes to the end of the tax year, I press a couple of buttons and there is my income and expenditure. I appear more professional to my customers and my working life is more streamlined and efficient. #### Cons Very minor gripes like being limited as to the email I can send with an invoice. I like to customise the invoice email based on school or private teaching. Whilst I can do this by changing the invoice or invoice reminder default emails, I can’t use any others so have to change the emails repeatedly by the time I invoice everyone. --- ### My Music Staff from a Person who is not techie - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Debbie N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The problems solved by using My Music Staff include: 1. Streamlining the administrative processes of teaching music. 2. Automating lesson scheduling, billing, and invoicing. 3. Keeping track of student progress and attendance. 4. Reducing the time spent on administrative tasks. The benefits of using My Music Staff include: 1. Increased efficiency and productivity for music teachers. 2. Improved communication between teachers and their students. 3. Easier access to resources, such as music theory and practice materials. 4. Increased visibility into student progress and performance. 5. The ability to customize the system to meet individual teaching needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - My Music Staff allows users to manage their music teaching business from one convenient location. - It is easy to use and navigate, with an intuitive interface.- My Music Staff provides great customer support and they have a wide variety of features such as scheduling, invoicing, and communication tools.- It offers a comprehensive range of features and is constantly being updated with new features. #### Cons Some users have reported that the customer service can be slow to respond.- Reports can be difficult to generate.- There are some limitations when it comes to customizing the look and feel of the website. --- ### Best Studio Assistant - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Steve P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, my experience has been excellent. The program is an essential part of my operation. When there is a problem, support staff are fast and friendly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The calendar is my favourite feature, but it's more than that. It's how all the additional features work together with the calendar for efficiency and organization. Without My Music Staff, I would not be able to keep up with the number of students my school now has. #### Cons The only thing that comes to mind is how make-up lessons are recorded under teacher payroll when a substitute teacher is involved. The original teacher is given the income from a cancelled lesson instead of the substitute, but is corrected only if the substitute teacher gives a make-up lesson. The substitute should be the one being compensated regardless. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff My Music Staff was far more user-friendly --- ### I switched to my music staff for the price and stayed for ease-of-use. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bonnie D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I am far more capable of streamlining and implementing my studio policies with my music staff. Bookkeeping is so much more organized. I am proud to refer my music staff to my friends. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My very favorite part of my music staff is invoicing! And I love her students can manage their lesson cancellations in the calendar. My music staff has a small price to pay, but ultimately helps me manage my earnings and probably saves me money in the long run because it is much easier to keep track of cancellations and make up lessons. I also really like how I have opportunity to have a website. Another big favorite aspect of the program of mine is that students can register themselves into Recitals. #### Cons The concept of make up classes is sometimes hard to get across to students, but the functionality is fine! The phone app is a little hard to use, especially when trying to edit titles of news and blog posts. Sometimes it freezes. But this is a very minor part of my use of my music staff. #### Reasons for choosing My Music Staff Pricing. I also prefer the name. #### Reasons for switching to My Music Staff Pricing --- ### My Music Staff is the best! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rob W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's been just great. Everything I used to do using physical lesson notes and email and Dropbox I can do all with this program. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Everything that I mentioned about MMS being the best possible music lesson software out there on the previous page! The best things are it allows students to make payments via Stripe, and has a fantastic scheduling and lesson notes system. #### Cons Only thing I could say is that the formatting for lesson notes can be a little glitchy sometimes. Otherwise everything's perfect. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/my-music-staff-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- My Music Staff Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
