This update adds a major feature: If you're a teacher with 75 or more students, you can now create multiple teacher accounts under your single subscription. This means you can now:
· create separate teacher accounts for all teachers using your subscription (or formerly using multiple subscriptions), each with their own sections, students, and assignments
· control the number of students each of the teachers will have (up to the total limit of your subscription)
· transfer administrative rights from your account to any of the new teacher accounts
Your account will be automatically upgraded when you sign in next; just click the "Teacher Admin" link to get started.

You'll also notice a change to the assignments page: now assignments that were due more than a month ago are hidden; just click the link at the bottom of the page to show all assignments again if you need them.
We're working on a more sophisticated way to organize your assignments, but this will help out long-time subscribers until that's ready!

We've also started implementing more automatic help when you try to use the drills with a browser that doesn't support Java for whatever reasons (disabled, not installed, or broken installation).

There were also many other small changes around the website. As always, let us know if you run into any problems!

There are a couple of bigger features rolling out soon, but two quick updates for the time being:
· The new violin fingerings drill now has audio.
· The audio for the rhythm drills has been replaced (the metronome intro is louder, and the dictation audio itself is much more pleasant to listen to).

Moving the site to new hosting has worked out well -- we had a few issues that were quickly sorted out, and now everything seems to be running smoothly -- plus now we're at around 1/8th of capacity, which is exactly where we wanted to be!
A few more updates rolled out over the past week and a half:
· Learn the violin fingerboard: there's a new drill for testing your skills, or you can explore violin fingerings if you're still learning the ropes.
· Students can now review all scores they've submitted.

There are some big changes -- but you hopefully won't notice most of them at all!
· We're moving the hosting of the site to a very fancy data center in Dallas, TX -- now we have a lot more room to grow.
· Much of the underlying workings of the site, the drills and the assignments has been reworked. There were some design problems that were making it very difficult to update options on the drills. This opens the door to a lot of other updates waiting in the wings!

Most of the changes that you'll really notice (and that you've been asking for, for a long time now...) are on the way; some are even already complete, we're just waiting to make sure we don't change too many things at one time.
So you can look forward to more announcements coming up soon!

· The site was offline for several hours this morning -- we apologize if you were affected by this unexpected downtime! It was caused by a problem at our hosting provider's data center. Details are scarce at the moment, but we will find out everything we can, and make arrangments to avoid any further similar downtime.
· No other significant news at the moment, just that we're plugging away at a series of changes.
· Since the last update, there have been primarily only small bugfixes made live -- for example, some users reported an error in the Chord Functions drill with secondary leading tone chords in major keys: the drill was demanding an enharmonic equivalent of the right answer (yup, bug). This was fixed.
