Happy Monday and 2021! We are excited to bring to you another development update!

Important Progressions

 

Design Focus

We are making great strides towards implementing the design on the website, both in improving the efficiency of the design code, as well as flushing out the code for the remainder of the website. 

Since the last update, we have completely tore out the old code and replaced it with a simpler, more efficient version, both to save space and time for the browser that has to download the files, and to improve readability and modifiability for future design changes and upgrades.

As far as finishing the design of the instructor and student dashboards, both have been finalized, and all that is left to do is implement them into the actual website, the instructor portion of which is anticipated to be finished this coming wednesday. The student dashboard will be finished not long after, as it will be reusing the majority of the design from the instructors viewpoint, just to portray student specific information. 

In addition, we have also focused on revamping the look of our branding. While there aren’t major changes, you will start noticing that our social media posts may look slightly different!

Functionality Focus

Cloud Music Suite is making great progress as we finish up some more of the key features of the music education experience. We are just about done with email reminders! This will allow you to get personalized reminders for your lessons that you have signed up for. Whether you are an instructor or a student, you don’t want to miss that lesson, and we’ll help you remember!

In addition to email reminders, we have added a notifications system and a messaging system to Cloud Music Suite. Notifications will send you a reminder of when to sign up for your next lesson or even when your instructor has added a new post or pre-lesson note for you! The messaging system will allow you to converse with any of your instructors as needed. Maybe you would like to request a new lesson slot or maybe you would like the instructor to share a file with you. Don’t worry! You will be able to do this with our integrated messaging system.

These are the next steps for Cloud Music Suite. We hope you are as excited as we are because we will be launching VERY soon. Stay tuned for the music education experience you’ve been waiting for. Happy New Year and keep on practicing!
