Awesome new features added to Music Teacher’s Helper

March 6th, 2009 by

We have been listening to your requests and working hard at adding the most popular ones. We’re excited to release these new features that we know you’ll love. All of these are now live and you can use them in your studio. Take a look!

  • Feature: 10 New Studio Website Themes! We’ve had a lot of requests for new themes featuring other instruments, and we have added ten more for you to choose from. We hope you enjoy them! To see the new themes, or change yours, visit Home -> My Studio Website -> Website Layout / Theme.
  • Feature: You can now sort photos on your photos page, and change the caption without deleting and re-uploading the photo!
  • Feature: Recurring Expenses! You can now create expenses that will automatically create themselves according to the time frame you set. For example, if you have a bill each month, you can set it to be created automatically, saving you on data entry time. (Note: On March 5, if you tried to update an existing event, it may not have updated properly – please check any events updated on this date to make sure they updated.) To use this feature, go to Billing -> My Expenses and Other Income.
  • Feature: Larger reconcile notes box! When reconciling events, many teachers said the box was too small. So we have now made it possible for you to expand the size of the box by dragging the bottom edge.
  • BugFix: When turning a single event into a repeating event, it would create a duplicate copy of the single event. This has been fixed.
  • BugFix: When saving an e-mail template, it will now warn you if you have an improper variable in your list. Improper variables were preventing some e-mails from being sent.
  • BugFix: When editing a group event to send reminders or lesson notes, the e-mails weren’t going to everyone in the group. Now they are.

    I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

    Great to see these improvements. Especially fixing that bug where extending an event into a repeating event created a duplicate. Thanks!

    Has MTH considered providing teacher’s with a newsletter/ blog page on their personal websites? I put my “evergreen” content on my homepage (mission, teaching philosophy, etc.) and a few announcements in the sidebar, but it would be nice to have a page where we can integrate pics, short articles, and sound/ video clips in a newsletter format where both prospective students and current students are able to see what everyone is up to in the studio. Let me know if that’s a possibility… Thanks!

  4. Yes, giving teachers their own blog is on the to-do list. Thanks for letting us know what’s important to you.
