We estimate that if you spend just 1 hour on each student per term on admin tasks like scheduling, invoicing and chasing payments, that time adds up quickly.

Built by Music Educators, for Music Educators.
SAMii was created in Adelaide after decades spent inside private music education — teaching, running a studio, and losing evenings to invoices that should never have needed writing.
Every part of the platform started as a problem an educator actually had: late payments, endless rescheduling, families unsure what they owed, and no clear picture of the business at tax time.
Today SAMii supports educators, studios and schools right across Australia, from single-teacher studios to multi-tutor programs.
Less stress. Steadier income.
What educators say once the admin stops competing with the teaching.
As a father of four, SAMii has given me peace of mind knowing my income is now regular. I can budget easier and spend weekends with my family instead of chasing invoices. I get paid every Monday for the week's lessons.
Chris· PlayLoud Music Academy
I never have to wonder if my invoices went through — no chasing payments, no worrying about cancellations. I'm a busy mum of three and I love the time SAMii saves me.
Anna Goldthorpe· Certified Online Music Teacher
It's so good knowing the money is in my account every Monday without me having to calculate, write or chase a single invoice.
Sofie· Saili Music · Former President of the MTASA
I'm a private tutor with around 80 students. I can't imagine dealing with 80 invoices on top of lesson schedules. I get paid like clockwork — do yourself a favour.
