Billed as a "personal assistant" for music teachers, this is a great organizational tool.
Using this tool, teachers can:
- Create a website
- Utilize a calendar which can show student lessons, concert dates, field trips, etc.
- Teachers can give their student a username and password to log in and view this calendar.
- Teachers can add notes to specific events on the calendar
- Teachers can set up automatic event reminders and Music Teacher's helper will send an e-mail to selected students and parents
- Send mass e-mails
- Organize and manage a lending library
- Track repertoire that individual students (or ensembles) have played
- Store notes on students (they can be made private or e-mailed to students and parents).
- Manage money
- Lesson payments for private teachers
- Activity fee (rental fees, equipment, etc.) for classroom teachers
- Create invoices (You can even set up automatic invoicing.)
I think that this tool is pretty amazing. One little tool that can keep track of so much! As a traveling teacher, I can see this saving my life in more ways than one. It does require a paid subscription for more than 3 students, but I think I can use the free version--I will treat each of the schools I teach at as a "student."
