Scheduling students around my everyday activities was quite a chore, as I had to bounce back and forth from my Day Planner to the MTH Calendar when I was scheduling a student or makeup outside of the normal teaching hours. Then I had an IDEA! And it is working great. Music Teacher’s Helper is not just a studio manager, but also a personal manager.
I set my name up in MTH as an adult student and schedule other activities, such as personal and financial business, into the calendar of MTH. I can call up my name in the calendar and name the event that I am doing. Under categories, I created a personal, financial and a business category in different colors. Under location, I added Personal.

I can now enter a reoccurring event, such as MTH invoices sent, into the calendar using the financial category and studio location. Personal events can also be put in, so you won’t schedule a student during the personal event time. If I need a reminder, I can either enter it as an all day event, or give it a time of 12 a.m. for 5 minutes.
Every morning I receive an email from MTH and see the events for the day, including the personal appointments and tasks to do. When the task or appointment is done, I can check it off as reconciled.

I tossed my day planner and schedule all my appointments and reminders on MTH. Anyone interested in buying a used Day Planner?
