Charging Different Amounts for Group Events

Wed July 18th, 2007 by Brandon Pearce (Support)

Many teachers who charge “per lesson” have requested the ability to schedule an event on the calendar that will be charged differently from a students regular lesson rate.

Before, you had to wait until the lesson was reconciled to change the cost. This caused problems when invoicing, for those who invoiced in advance, since the invoice was created before the cost could be changed.

Now you can set the cost of an event from the start! When creating a new event, there is now a “Cost” option that overrides any default costs for a student’s lesson.

This will make it much easier to create group events that aren’t charged, or to charge a recital fee to only those students who will attend the recital.

Thank you for all your feedback. You’re helping making Music Teacher’s Helper better all the time!

  1. This is a great addition. I have students who take a class at one location where I don't collect money directly, so the lesson cost is $0 in MTH, but some of them take private lessons elsewhere and pay me directly. With this new feature, I can enter the amount they owe when I schedule the lesson instead of trying to remember it only when I reconcile it. Also I've had students who take a half hour lesson and then decide to extend it to 45 minutes--it's great to be able to enter that they owe more for the longer lesson right when I schedule and edit the entry, rather than waiting until reconciliation. Thanks for this feature!
