Could you make it possible to have 2 e-mail addresses for the parents of one student?
I have many students with divorced parents who share custody of their children. When I send an e-mail out to all of my students, it really needs to go to both parents. Please add another field for a second parent name and e-mail.

Add "Potential Student" along with Current, Waitlist, and Former
I am starting a studio up again, and am getting verbal interest from parents. I want to enter their contact info and send mass email to them about registration dates and so on. I hope to have so much interest that I will have to start putting some on a waitlist. I want to send them a different email by mass email. It would help if you had another category for interested or potential students so I don't have to categorize them as current student, waitlist or former.

Make "attended" the default setting on the reconcile events page.
On the reconcile all events page, the "Set attendance to" dropdown box
defaults to ignore/reschedule. Can it default to "attended", as one would

add another payment type - direct deposit.
We often pay for things by direct bank deposit here in Australia so this would be helpful instead of putting "other" all the time.

More flexibility with invoicing
I find the invoicing system doesn't work well for me. I bill per "session" and the fees change every three months. Some parents pay all together, some break it up into monthly fees. It's a pain trying to go into student accounts and change things, and sometimes I can't get a certain month for a certain student to show up in the invoice. I'd love to be able to just enter all the details of the invoice manually including fees, and then be able to do follow up invoices for those who pay monthly.

Clarify Login Procedure
Most websites give a notice of what is wrong if you make an error on signing in. MTH just goes back to the blank log-in. It would be helpful to come back with "incorrect password" or "incorrect username" so the user can know what is needed.

Add a studio option instead just a child/parent.
I would like to have an option for studio lessons and not private lessons. I have students classes out of a church, home and a studio. I would like to put in the amount that the studio pays me, and my students should not be able to see it or be invoiced since it is not the amount they pay. Or better yet, put in the amount the studios pays me, and when, but also the amount the student pays the studio.
Please do this soon. I am sure I am not the only one and I do not want… more

give the ability to enter events without linking any students.
Hi there,
I would like to make a suggestion regarding the calendar. It would be great if you could add an event to the calendar without linking it to any students. Today I wanted to add an appointment I have with a prospective student. It's an interview/meeting with someone inquiring about joining the studio and taking lessons. I have another one tomorrow as well. It would be great if I could add these 2 appointments to my calendar so that I don't end up rescheduling a lesson at that time or something if one of my students calls to change… more
6 votesI set myself as a student. When scheduling the interview, I can write “Interview” in the Event title. I also make a category “Interview”.

Change "Openings" on event to students' names when registering.
When a student registers online for an event, the system does not automatically change the name of the event to their name. It leaves the title of the event as what I orginially posted, "Open". So frequently, students think they haven't been registered and then email me asking me to register them even though they have already registered. I do realize that if they click on the event they will see their name underneath but most people don't realize to do that. Also, their name apparently does not show up in their upcoming events either so that is confusing as… more

Allow event editing and emailing from the iPhone app
The app looks nice and clean, but it would be nice to be able to email and edit events - especially since we usually get a phone call from a student changing a time and want to note it down straight away.

We’ll be getting started on this as soon once we finish the ability to add students and parents through the app.

Have an option to insert your own studio logo at the top of the invoice.
I have designed my own invoices and have my own logo at the top, but would like to automate things more and integrate with MTH. I would love a way to customize the layout of the invoices more.

make emailing more user friendly for ipad/ iphone users
I like to use my ipad to record a student's practicing assignment in an email template. Then I print it for their notebooks and also email it to the parents. I just got the ipad app but it seems that I cannot use it to email anything. Am I missing something? Also, it would be nice to have a "print" link on the email template since on the ipad one cannot right click so I have to email it to myself and then print the email. Thanks!

It would list the student names, how many lessons were attended, missed etc for the dates that the user selects.

Create new website templates.....
In order to stay fresh, relevant, current (technologically and aesthetically ), I'd love to see new website templates. There's current a limited number... and there haven't been fresh templates added for some time now. In our ever-changing web culture, having relevant home page design.... and several options to choose from..... is vital....

Add a small print section option to invoices.
I have a cancellation policy and other standard info that I'd like to be available and visible to all students and parents, especially when their invoice arrives. Would it be possible to add a small print section that appears on every invoice? The current "notes" section at the bottom isn't suited for that.

Add Rotating times to timetables so students do not miss the same events each week.l
I am a Private tutor and run my business as a Sole Trader, and invoice all the students myslef but I teach most of my students at schools during school hours, and have associations with these schools. I could see MTH working in this setting but only with Rotating timetables which keep the class teacher's happy so the students do not miss the same lesson every week. I am not allowed to have fixed times at most schools in Australia. Parents work and like their kids to be taught at school so there is less driving around during the day.… more

Add a Time Zone for Arizona
I would like to see a time zone added specifically for Arizona, in account settings. This way, when we import our calendar to Google, we will see the lessons appear at the correct time, since AZ does not do daylight savings with the rest of the Mountain time zone.

...add an option to market as a performer as well as a teacher.
Many piano teachers moonlight as performers, accompanists etc. So why not update the website templates accordingly?
-add a new page to the website with room for custom descriptions, photos, video/audio
-add a registration form for performance clients with fields to input:
event type, date(s) and time
suggested/requested music

have a way for tracking new leads
I'd really like to have a way to track my leads. I'd love to enter contact information and be able to mark how I've followed up (emailed them, called them, left message, they will call back, etc.) I know there are marketing sites out there that do this, but it would be helpful to keep all my business stuff in one place.
