FitIs this like the studio-management software we use now?
It covers the same jobs — students, schedules, billing, communication — and adds public websites, online registration, and embeds. If your current system still fits your back office, Simply Music Schools can work alongside it: our sync keeps both in step while families get a modern web experience.
ParentsDo parents need another app or login?
No. Families sign up, register for recitals, and update details through public forms and pages — no accounts, no passwords, no app to install.
MigrationWe have years of data in our current system. Can we move it?
Yes. Exports from your current system are exactly what our data conversion service handles — we clean, map, and verify your students, families, and history with you before launch. And if you would rather keep that system, ask about running Simply Music Schools alongside it instead.
InstructorsCan instructors see their own schedules?
Yes. Unlimited users means every instructor gets a login with permissions scoped to what they should see — their students, their schedule, their notes.
PricingWhat does it actually cost?
A free 30-day trial, then flat monthly plans sized by current students: $29 through 25, $99 through 200, $199 through 500, $349 through 1,000, custom above. Parents never count, users are unlimited, and your first published website is included. Published plans, add-ons, service floors, and usage rates are on the pricing page; Custom work and additional prepaid AI packs are confirmed before purchase.
SupportWho builds and supports Simply Music Schools?
Simply Music Schools is built and supported by the Simply360 team on the Simply360 platform — the same people who do the data conversions and setup, not a reseller.
AIDo we have to use the AI?
No — AI in Simply Music Schools is optional and off until you turn it on; the product is complete without it. If you try it, your team approves anything it proposes, and your instructors and front desk still take the conversations that matter with parents and students. The pricing page discloses published AI add-ons and the current usage policy; any additional prepaid AI pack price is shown before purchase. The Optional AI page explains how it works.
CompareHow does this compare to arts platforms built on big CRMs?
Arts and program CRMs built on platforms like Salesforce are powerful — and priced for institutions, with subscriptions that often start in the tens of thousands per year before implementation. Simply Music Schools starts at $29 a month with unlimited users and your website included, and help with setup starts in the hundreds, not the tens of thousands.
