Anyone who has been reading here for any length of time knows that I’m a huge fan of Music Teacher’s Helper. It has streamlined my bookkeeping like I never imagined was possible! I posted my first review of it after signing up for the free trial version four years ago. Although I was hesitant to plunk down the money for a monthly plan, it didn’t take long before I was sold on the value of it! I wrote a second review after using it for a year of lessons.
Anyway…if you’ve been thinking about trying Music Teacher’s Helper, but haven’t gotten around to it, I wanted to let you know that they recently announced that they’ll be increasing their pricing on October 1st. However, anyone who signs up for a subscription will be locked into the current pricing plan forever! And of course, if you don’t like it (impossible for me to imagine!), you can cancel at any time. When I first saw that the pricing was increasing, my heart sunk because as much as I love the convenience of MTH, I did not relish the thought of having to pay a higher price (especially since I’m already on the highest priced plan!). So I am thrilled to know that I am forever locked into my current price. That’s a great company for you!
Alright…commercial over. Just thought you all might like to know before it’s too late. 
I second your sentiments! MTH has made my life SOOOOO much easier! And I’m pretty sure I’ve saved the lives of a few trees using MTH has well. Don’t think I could live without it!
While I have really enjoyed the convenience of Music Teacher’s Helper, I have come to the conclusion that it is just way too expensive. Over the course of the last two years I have spent ~ $600. When I calculate how many lessons I must teach before taxes, it makes my heart sink, not to mention the future years of expense.
I will try cutting the cord and have purchased Sage Peachtree Pro Accounting 2011, completely free with rebate from Office Depot today. (good for just a few more days – 9/4).
Sad to say goodbye to MTH…
