Director of Recruitment

There isn't much we don't like about DigitalChalk however if there is an area of improvement we would love for it to be more fully integrated with our payroll software system.

Training Manager

Been using it for 5 years now to create online training courses for asynchronic learning.

The terminology (courses, completion, etc) is fairly easy to learn, and the menu is pretty clear overall.

owner teacher

I'm a solo music teacher running a studio of 45 families on my own, and the main reason i sought out my music staff was because I was spending 20-30 hours a month manually creating invoices and sending them out by email.

Instrumental Music Teacher

Also, because I teach music at a primary school, the school timetable changes regularly with extra curricular activities, so making changes to my timetable in MyMusic Staff is an easy task.

I can set up music classes so easily. Because I work a revolving timetable each week, I have to change the times of each lesson so this software makes it so easy to do that.
