My Music Staff alternative
A My Music Staff Alternative for Studios That Also Rent and Repair Instruments
My Music Staff is great if all you do is teach. If your studio also rents student instruments, sells gear, or runs a repair bench, Music Shop Suite gives you the lesson workflow plus serialized inventory, rentals, and repair tickets on one workspace.
- Lesson and group-class scheduling per teacher and room
- Student records with parents, balances, and lesson history
- Serialized instrument inventory and rental tracking
- Repair shop tickets with parts, labor, and tech queues
Side-by-side
How Music Shop Suite compares to My Music Staff for studios that do more than teach.
- Lesson scheduling: both
- Student records and family billing: both
- Serialized instrument inventory: Music Shop Suite

- Repair shop tickets with parts and labor: Music Shop Suite
- Accounting ledger and P&L reports: Music Shop Suite

One workspace instead of three
If you currently run My Music Staff for lessons, a spreadsheet for rentals, and a notebook for the repair bench, Music Shop Suite collapses all three into one record per student and one record per instrument.
Flat price, no per-student fees
$49/month flat. No per-student pricing, no add-on modules. Everything — lessons, inventory, rentals, repairs, accounting — is included.
Honest note
Where My Music Staff is still ahead
If your studio is teaching-only and you depend on automatic tuition collection through a student-facing portal, My Music Staff's billing flow is more mature today. Music Shop Suite shines when your studio also rents or repairs instruments and you want to stop juggling tools.
Frequently asked
- How is Music Shop Suite different from My Music Staff?
- My Music Staff is focused on lesson scheduling and student billing for teaching studios. Music Shop Suite covers the same lesson and student side, and adds serialized instrument inventory, instrument rentals, and a repair shop ticketing system — so studios that also rent and repair gear can run on one workspace.
- Can I migrate my student list from My Music Staff?
- Yes. Export your students and lesson history to CSV and import into Music Shop Suite. Map your columns once and you're in.
- Is there a free trial?
- No. Music Shop Suite is $49/month flat with no trial. If it doesn't fit your studio, cancel at the end of the month.
- Does Music Shop Suite handle online lesson payments?
- Subscriptions are billed through Stripe. Lesson and tuition invoicing is built in; payment processing for student tuition is on the roadmap and not yet at parity with dedicated lesson-billing apps.
