Music Teachers Blog

We’re always working to improve Music Teacher’s Helper, thanks to feedback from teachers like you. We haven’t always posted our updates in the past, but we’d like to start doing so more frequently. Some changes are very small but it may be helpful for you to know.

First, we have added two new video tutorials. One shows you how to setup your studio website, including changing your theme/layout, editing your teaching policy, uploading photos, and more. The other shows you what a student sees when they log in to their Music Teacher’s Helper account.

Other recent small changes:

• You can now upload .mus and .sib files to your File Area (Finale and Sibelius music notation files)
• Added “start date” to repertoire tracker and added it to show on the list of pieces for a student
• Fixed an event cancellation and registration bug that wasn’t adding/removing the students as a participant in the event properly
• Added a “notes” field to the parent info page
• The question you are asked when adding a fee that looks similar to the automatic fee for those who charge a “flat fee” will now be asked less frequently. We found that it was more of an annoyance than a help.
• Fixed a bug in the calendar week view where it was sometimes not showing events properly.
• Fixed a bug in the invoicing system where the total sometimes wasn’t calculated properly (this bug only existed for about a day after we launched the new invoicing system (around Oct 10)
• Made the “projected earnings” report slightly more accurate. (but it’s still just a rough estimate)
• Students can now update their own email address when they login (before it wasn’t saving)
• Fixed a bug in where automatic invoices weren’t being sent if the schedule start date was set in the future, even if the schedule was set to send a few days early.
• Studio website announcement sort order is now saving properly when you create the announcement
• The Students Owing report is now sorted alphabetically

We want Music Teacher’s Helper to be the best and most useful tool for managing your studio. (We believe it already is, but we want to make it even better). Thank you again for all your feedback. We appreciate you!
