 "Technology Addition has a wealth of general information including step-by-step guidance.  In addition, it offers valuable assitance in organizing, launching and making the most of the many opportunities that are currently available in music education software.  Michelle Gordon and Michelle Sisler have met the goal of encouraging those new to technology as well as invigorating those already using it.  Do yourself (and your students) a favor by purchasing it and implementing its many advantages in your teaching -- as soon as possible."  Mary Gae George, NCTM, Sandy, UT

I recently bought Studio Makeover:  Technology “Addition”.  I have included a computer lab in my piano studio for over ten years now and was excited to hear about this book.  After diving into it, I am thrilled with all the treasures that are found inside.  Let’s Get to Work is an absolute goldmine!  Thank you for all your time and work that was put into this.  I will benefit greatly from it.  Jennifer F., AZ
