Here’s the list of this week’s updates:
- We’ve made a minor update to the look and feel of My Music Staff; the page header and logo when logged into the site has been refreshed.
- On the student sign-up page/widget the “Gender” field (if enabled) is now displayed directly below the student information, rather than following the parent contact information.
- In the student portal, students can now edit their Skype username.
- We updated the behavior of the Recaptcha box on the contact/sign-up forms of My Music Staff hosted websites to eliminate a “flicker” when the page loads.
- On My Music Staff hosted websites the menu system has been adjusted so that it works better on mobile devices.
- If your studio “Region” is set to Malaysia, the currency (and tax) are now displayed with 2 decimal places.
- The “Invoice Details” report (available from the “Download” button on the “Families & Invoices” page) now includes the family’s address.
- It’s no longer necessary to use the checkboxes to download the “Invoice Details“. If no invoices are manually selected, all invoices are included in the download. (Additionally, if you’re using the “Search” feature to limit the invoices that are displayed, only the search results will be included in the download which makes it easy to download all the invoice details for a specific month, even if you have more than 25 families.)
- We fixed an issue with the “Email History” feature which would cause extra blank lines to be inserted into the archived emails.
*** We will not have our regularly scheduled update next week due to a national holiday ***
Did you know? The “Income and Expense” report has been updated so that you can now group by “Payment Type“. This option is only available when the report is run in “Cash” mode.

I like the new splash of color but those two first bars where the logo is and then the category/page is listed are SO BIG….I already have to scroll down on each page to get where I’m going, and now I have to scroll even further. I liked the functionality of it before.
Keep it up, guys! You’re awesome.

Hi Rebecca! Thank you for your feedback 🙂
I’ve noticed that many of the parents in my studio can’t seem to figure out how to login to the website at all on mobile because you have to scroll all the way down past the blog entries to find the login. Can you please figure out a way to rearrange that or just put a login link on the main menu for mobile?
I’ve also had some confusion about the calendar this week. It’s the end of June and they’re looking at lessons for the first weekend in July, but getting confused because they assume the current date should be on the top of the calendar, not the bottom. Maybe the calendar should load in week view by default rather than month to avoid confusion? Or just flip to the next month sooner when there’s less than a week left in the month?
Thanks for all your updates. MyMusicStaff really does make my teaching experience much simpler and more professional!
Hi Angie! Thank you for your feedback, I will pass this along to our development team. For the quickest response, please send an email to support@mymusicstaff.com
I agree! Maybe there should be a login widget that we could put in the sidebar? I’m not sure if that would show up at the top on mobile though (which is how most of students’ parents are accessing the site). Or a login button in the header bar?
Love the color refresh, though!
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your feedback. By default the Student Portal login is always part of your sidebar. You can add our login widget code elsewhere on your website by simply adding the widget code in “Plain HTML Mode”.
