Hi Everyone! My Music Staff was recently reviewed in the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teachers\u2019 Association’s publication of Opus\u00a0(June 2015)!\u00a0Thank you to the SRMTA for including us in your e-journal.\u00a0Barb Levorson has been busy exploring the ins and outs of the application. Part two of her article is expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I am thrilled to be selected to review the software package, My Music Staff, created by the self-titled company located in Burlington, Ontario. Like many teachers, I am currently managing my studio using a disjointed array of spreadsheets, Word documents, and crumpled papers (sound familiar?). I joke my piano sometimes looks like Base Camp at Everest with all the coloured sticky notes waving like flags! In response, I have been turning my thoughts to using a software package to consolidate my information, and help with accounting and scheduling. This review opportunity is very well timed!<\/p>\n

My Music Staff promises to manage revenue, billing and expenses, accept payments online, calendar updates and scheduling (I am hoping that student-led scheduling will be possible!), managing student information, track attendance, manage a studio website and blog, and more. There is even a student portal and practice log features!<\/p>\n

I have a large studio, teaching infants to adults, private and group lessons, and I teach in multiple locations (my own in-home studio, day cares, and private rental space), both on my own and as part of a co-operative music school with multiple teachers. So I think I have every situation covered! This year I had between 65-70 students and expect that to expand next year, so organization will be key. I am going to be spending the summer learning about the software and getting it in place before September.<\/p>\n

I look forward to working with Todd Whaley and his team at My Music Staff, and I am happy to try to answer any questions teachers may have about how you may be able to use this software!<\/p>\n
