Switching from My Music Staff? We’ll carry everything over.
Lesson Complete is the all-in-one platform that runs your music school for $0.49 per active student — a student in two programs counts once — with every feature included, unlimited staff, and native apps. And this summer we migrate your whole school for you, free.
Free for your first 4 students · No credit card required · Month-to-month
My Music Staff is genuinely great for a solo teacher. Unlimited students on a low base plan, tidy invoicing, a calendar that just works — if it is you and a handful of families, it is hard to beat and we will happily tell you so.
What changes is the day you become a school. Add a second, third, fourth teacher and the per-teacher fee starts climbing. Families are on a mobile-friendly website, not an app with your name on the home screen. That is the seam we were built for.
What changes when you leave My Music Staff
A base monthly plan plus a per-teacher fee — the software bill grows every time you add faculty, whether or not enrollment grows with it.
Pay for students, not teacher seats
A per-teacher fee penalises the exact thing you are trying to do — grow. Promote an assistant or bring on a Saturday teacher and the bill goes up before the new students show up.
Lesson Complete charges $0.49 per active student. Teachers, admins, and front-desk staff are unlimited and free, so hiring is a staffing call, never a software call.
Two native apps your families actually keep
A mobile-friendly website is not the same as an app on the home screen. My Music Staff has no native branded apps, so families bookmark a page instead of tapping an icon.
Lesson Complete ships real iPhone and Android apps. Teachers run the lesson from their phone, families reschedule and pay tuition from theirs — with your school on the icon.
A front desk that runs itself
Invoicing helps, but reminders, failed-card retries, review requests, and re-enrollment nudges still land on a person — usually you, on a Sunday night.
Autopay retries the failed card, reminders send themselves, Beacon (the built-in AI teammate) answers the "when is my lesson" texts, and Needs Attention surfaces what is about to slip before it does.

My Music Staff publishes a low base rate plus a per-additional-teacher fee and does not price by student count, so their total depends on how many teachers you run — verify current rates on their site.

What gets better the day you switch
- Your families download an app with your school on the icon — iPhone and Android, both included.
- Every teacher you have (and every one you hire) is on the calendar for free — no per-seat math.
- Beacon, an AI teammate, starts fielding the routine "when is my lesson / can we move to Thursday" questions.
- A public shop page sells lessons and packages with Stripe checkout and captures trials and waitlists.
Switching takes three steps. We do two of them.
Send us what you have
A CSV export, a Stripe connection, a spreadsheet — even a pasted list. Our importer reads them all, and we handle the cleanup.
We set your school up
Teachers, students, families, schedules, and billing plans arrive configured to match how you run things today. You review; we adjust.
Flip the switch together
Invite teachers and families when you’re ready. You stay on your old system until the moment you’re confident — no gap, no double entry.
The September-Safe promise: we do not cut over until you say go. Come in over the summer, run both systems side by side, and flip to Lesson Complete only once your fall schedule is loaded and you have signed off. No gap on the busiest week of your year.
Lock your rate for life
The first 25 schools to join get their per-student rate and their $195 cap locked for good, free white-glove migration, free until your fall term starts, and a direct line to the founder — I am 20 minutes away in Houston.
Moving is safe, and so is staying
Your students, families, and money records are yours — export them any time, cancel any time, no lock-in. See exactly how we handle your school’s data and how billing and payouts stay clean.
Migration questions, answered
What does the free migration include?
We move your whole school for you — every teacher, student, family, and schedule — and set up your billing plans to match how you charge today. Free during Summer 2026.
What do I need to export?
Usually just the student/family export (CSV) from your current system, or a Stripe connection if you bill there. Our importer also reads pasted lists, spreadsheets, and calendar files.
How long does switching take?
Most schools are live within a few days: import on day one, review the roster together, then invite teachers and families when you’re ready. You stay on your old system until you flip.
Will my families have to re-enter payment details?
If you bill through Stripe today, we can migrate customers and saved payment methods through Stripe’s official process. Otherwise families add a card once at their first invoice — with autopay from then on.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
Neither. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, no setup fee — and your first 4 active students are free, so a small studio can try the whole platform without paying a cent.
What if I use a system that isn’t listed here?
The migration offer applies to any system — or no system at all. Send us whatever you have (spreadsheets, paper, another app’s export) and we’ll take it from there.
Leave the busywork with My Music Staff.
Start free with your first 4 students — and when you’re ready, we’ll move the whole school over for you. Free during Summer 2026.
