My mother, Alayne,
has been teaching piano now for 10 years and continues to run her small little
business through her memory and a notepad. She has had a various group of 15 to
20 students at any given time and often has trouble documenting fees, reminding
students about lessons, and tracking her schedule. She does not get paid
sometimes because people forget or she neglects to document the fees and
payments. Also, students occasionally don’t show up because they forget or the
time was not communicated. I realized that I could consolidate all of these
activities by writing her a user friendly VBA program called APPA. This
application, Alayne’s Personal Piano Assistant (APPA), allows my mother to easily
manage student information, lesson scheduling, tuition expenses as well as
sending automated reminders about lessons and tuition.
