“Now every music student can have access to the tools they need to learn and create music,” noted Dr. James Frankel. “Our education technology experts know what works and offer advice,and training on the best tools available today to help music educator’s to teach better.” MusicFirst’s solutions are cloud-based. Instead of purchasing a boxed software product and having it installed on a school computer, cloud-based software lives online and is accessed by any device with a web browser. This allows teachers and students to use state-of-the-art software tools on any computer, iPad, smartphone, laptop, or even a Smart Board, at any time.
With cloud-based software, all teacher and student work is saved in the cloud, making assessment easy and convenient. And because the software lives online, it is constantly upgraded to the most recent version without the involvement of an IT department. Every student in a school’s program can have access to the latest software and their work at any time for a fraction of the cost one would pay for site licenses and individual copies of software.
MusicFirst’s website, www.musicfirst.com, offers direct sales of these software solutions. MusicFirst will exhibit and conduct workshops at several upcoming music education conferences including the Texas, New Jersey, and Massachusetts Music Education Conferences.
MusicFirst can be reached toll free at 855-896-3344, or at info@musicfirst.com. Visit the website to learn more: www.musicfirst.com
