    Just wanted to sing the praises of some booking software – BookingBug. Been using it since I moved to London and has made things so much easier. About £20 a month, but works beautifully, has tons of options, allows you to ask questions and take information from new students, and gets Google reviews for your business.

    Also, how’s business? 🙂

    sounds interesting, just wondering 1. do your students actually make use of it and 2. what value has it added to your bottom line? (look at me using a business term) I’d love something like that but I don’t want to spend £180 or so a year on something that my pupils won’t use.

    I actually tried it right at the start, and although it does have a ton of options I didn’t feel like I was using enough of the features to justify the expense. If you want to automate bookings then great, and the automatic reminder emails are really useful. There’s another one called 10to8 which is cheaper, but I’ve just been using iCloud for now 😊

    Has anyone used Music Teacher’s Helper? I’m considering giving it a trial, though I am quite happy with the systems I’ve got and am wondering if learning new software would just add another thing to my long to do list!
