It all started when Datasonics was contacted by a number of school teachers who were facing the challenge of implementing music technology at their schools.
The issues facing those music teachers were:
Limited time to prepare lessons and be creative in extending students
A need to meet individual student needs and assess their performances
A requirement for tools that could be easily mastered by themselves and their students
A product that would assist them to meet the requirements of the curriculum.
This video will show you how Mastering Music™ helps to solve these critical challenges!
