Its time to add another entry to this work and was finding it hard to find something to write about and I was reviewing my wifes blog at Laura's Blog and thought I would give Laura and her new site a shameless plug.
Laura is a very talented composer, arranger and teacher. She has not been as productive as a composer and arranger until as of late. But ever since I have redone her website to include a blog, a shopping cart with the means via a desktop application to update her site on her own I see her less and less.
She spend most of her time composing now and preparing a book of Christmas songs and has set a deadline of Nov. 18th 2007. She also has had time to make a few blog entries about a local concert by Arne Sahlen and an article about a musical love triangle that those music history buffs will want to check out.
Over all I am please with the site, She loves it and I just need to do some more SEO on it to get it some traffic.
Since this blog is about Music, Teachers and being at the office I thought this would be a good way to start to expand the scope of topics on this blog and will start to add more articles about teaching and the business of teaching music.
More Later

The Original MTO has a new Name!
Over the past few weeks I have rebuilt the original Music Teacher's Office for private music teachers and have renamed it Private Music Teacher's Office or Private MTO.
I did this for a number of reasons. One, it was dated and needed an update. Two, it is really the same application as MTOPro but with out features so it will really be like maintaining one set of code rather than two. Three, I have added an advertising scheme to the teaching pages to generate some revenue to keep things going.
All in all I am very happy with the new product as the features now will make it easy for users to go from one MTO to the next.
You can get all the information and download at Music Teacher's Office

Version 1.0.0.5 is now available
Wow!
It's been almost a month since I have posted on this blog, but it's been really busy out there. I created a new guitar parts website called Giitarparts.com. It is designed to help guitarists find the right guitar nut, saddle or other parts. It has a cool part finder database, but lo I digress.
Since we have been using Music Teacher's Office Pro at Weed Music full time this past fall I have found and fixed a few glitches and at the same time made the teachers GUI a bit more intuitive in this version. You can get by clicking Here.
But over all there have been very few glitches and I was really please when this morning I entered all of Octobers lesson payments and the new GUI interface saved me a ton of time. Anyway give it try!

Music Teacher's Office Pro Works on Win98!
Well I finally got around to installing Music Teacher's Office Pro on all of our studio computers at Weed Music Ltd. and was very pleased with the results, with one exception.
As I was building MTOPro using the .Net Framework 2.0 I was worried how it would install on Win98 and how it would perform with my underpowered server. Well, it worked out just fine. We use Win98 on most of our studio computers with a couple of XP machines as well. Our server is an old and tired IBM server with only 385 megs of ram running Windows Server 2003. We use it only as a file server so we keep the MTOPro Access db stored on it.
MTOpro is very stable and much faster than any other version to date. It installs faster, opens faster and runs faster all around with less glitches so I am very pleased indeed.
The only hassle I ran into was installing the .Net Framework on our Win98 machines. They only have 64 megs of ram so the installing the .Net Framework took over an hour! But they did take it and I am please that it is that backward compatible. This will make if very affordable for studios that want to get things started on the cheap. There are tons of used computers out there running Win98 that you can probably get for free. Any way thats the latest news about MTOPro.
'Till next time ,

First Posting
Well I just figured out that I could have more than one blog. My personal blog would become really unfocused if I don't break out all the topics I can write about into separate blogs. It's a lot more work but readers will appreciate the focus I am sure.
As the title suggests this will blog will be directed to the development and marketing of Music Teacher's Office. I am going to cut this short so I can set my links appropriately and do some other chores but I will try & get back later today to add another post.
