Case Study: Avalon School of Music achieves 82% recurring revenue and 15% growth with MINDBODY

Avalon School of Music - Customer Case Study

Avalon School of Music, founded by John Kolbrich, grew from a one-room idea into three locations serving over 800 students with 60+ staff. As the business expanded, managing student dues, teacher pay and class schedules with spreadsheets and disparate programs became unmanageable and time-consuming.

By implementing MINDBODY’s music management software, Avalon automated scheduling, payments (AutoPay), reporting and student self‑service. The system freed staff time, improved decision-making and boosted financial stability — driving a 15.3% revenue increase, growing recurring revenue to 82% of total income and achieving a 47% student retention rate in 2014.
