Leslie:<br><br>I will be giving a MT presentation in March to our state convention for VI. I have attached a copy of the Powerpoint presentation. Feel free to use any information. I have taught students at Governor Morehead School on MT since 1999, and would be willing to discuss any curriculum ideas. Rick Coates<br>

We are currently in the research phase of a project to build a Music Technology Lab at our school. We have secured a 20 x 13 room for full-time use for our lab, and are working on getting quotes to then find funding. I'm hoping that you might be able to recommend any equipment and software that's
out there for our student population.</font></div>

We currently have a Performing Arts Technology class that meets daily for credit, taught by another teacher. This project started out with our desire to create a piano lab to meet our growing student interest in piano lessons. However, we now want to expand it to create a full music tech. lab where we can also move the digital recording equipment and intro. our general music classes (with piano lab, podcasting, etc.) We have only a few students who are currently learning the braille music code. </font></div>
