Hi Kelly!

Great Question!! In fact, so good that I am devoting an entire
session to it at the TI:ME Conference in Tampa this January -
"Success in Building a Music Technology Lab."

This is an area that needs more than just general questions - to
spend between 5-10k, we have to get pretty specific about what you
are wanting to accomplish - what your outcomes will be.

For a Sky's the Limit, Pie in the Sky situation, that's a bit
easier - we can throw in all the latest gear and hope and pray that
it gets approved.

If you want to shoot me an email - jodyu@..., I would be
happy to share a proposal or two that I have created for some
schools in the Atlanta area.

SoundTree's consulting services are at no charge - With a dream this
big, you should consider speaking with me so that we can ensure
success for you and your program. Taking the guesswork out of the
process is key and must be done for the lab to work.

Thanks in advance! I look forward to hearing from you!

Jody
