- John and Dave,
"The Computer Music Workshop gave me the courage to prepare, design, and implement software into our music curriculum. Even though our class came from a wide array of experience levels, the instructors did well in meeting our individual needs. Computer music technology is another way of addressing the diverse learning styles and needs of children while teaching the music standards. Children will, indeed, benefit greatly from our experience! Thanks to both of you!"

- Dear Dave and John:
Your class this summer was the best music/computer course I have ever had! It has opened the doors to many possibilities with music education. You and Dave were thorough,
helpful, and gave us each time to work at our individual abilities. It was terrific! I will definitely repeat the class.
