What MyMusicBuddy is
MyMusicBuddy is a web workspace for private music teachers that brings scheduling, student records, resources and billing together. Teachers can arrange one-off or recurring lessons, reschedule them and email students when plans change. Student profiles can store contact details, instruments, rates, notes, payments, resources and progress. Teachers can upload worksheets, recordings and documents, assign them to students and let students download them from a dedicated portal. Students can use the portal to view their own lessons, resources, progress, payments, invoices and settings; they cannot see other students’ portal information. Invoices can be generated from completed lessons, and payments can be linked to invoices with payment history visible. Student emails can cover lesson changes, cancellations, invoices, payments and resource uploads. Both portals are responsive for smaller screens, and teachers can enable optional two-factor authentication. Starter is free for up to five students, one instrument and one lesson rate. Progress tracking is listed for Pro and Studio, while reports and exports depend on the plan. Pro is listed at £9.99 / month and Studio at £19.99 / month.
