Inside Music: Teacher Feedback
“Inside Music is enhancing the music program by
giving students a very effective tool for exploring
music and music composition. I am starting to get
reports that students from the first rotation are
continuing to compose for their own instrument and
the band director has expressed interest in organizing
a composer's concert at the school!”

Inside Music: Teacher Feedback
“Each student works at her/his own pace. The
curriculum and lessons provided are invaluable! It
saves me so much time not having to design the
lessons. I can review and comment at home online.
Everything has been great!”

much.”
