Success Stories
"Your materials are a wonderful way for us to provide challenging small group or individual attention to highly able students in grades five and six mostly. Thanks for all you do. As enrichment teachers we are constantly looking for quality programs that challenge and very often we have to create the lessons ourselves."
- Nancy Mildrum
Enrichment Coordinator at Georgia Elementary and Middle School in Georgia, Vermont
"Math & Music is easy to use, thought-provoking and thorough. Middle and high-school
students will both be satisfied with this program because its content level ranges
from multiplication review to definitions of frequency, amplitude and wavelength.
This software is rich with information and encourages users to appreciate the
multiple perspectives from which one can view the world."

"I find math difficult to get excited about, and this was really interesting!! The bridge to musical scales and harmony has increased our interest and enthusiasm in mathematical arenas yet undiscovered"

"Math & Music would appeal to schools that challenge their students to see beyond the
facts to the “why” behind the subjects they learn. The introduction to the students
is quite intriguing, challenging students to become wise by learning not just arithmetic,
but the larger mathematics that can be used to describe very diverse fields."

"The program features a good clean interface that is easy to use, and would be ideal
for a homeschool or classroom setting."
- Children's Software Revue
It is a cool, innovative, exciting program!
- Ted Perry
California Educational Computing Consortium
"Math & Music is a terrific and exciting supplement to any upper-elementary or middle school
math program. It is absolutely ideal to accompany the new Calvert math program which has a
similar approach and philosophy. If your goal is to prepare your child to be accepted by the
top colleges or just give him an age-appropriate math foundation that goes way beyond dull
workbook drills, then grab a copy of Math & Music."
- Bill Pride
Practical Homeschooling/Spotlight Review
"As a homeschooling mom emeritus, a math aficionado, and a lifelong piano teacher, this
title had me salivating before I even examined the contents. I was not disappointed.

"My daughter's interest in an often dully-presented subject
is already piqued; she enjoyed beginning with the Speed Math,
finding her math facts had become very rusty indeed. She
profited immediately from the review and actually said she
'looks forward to exploring her Math and Music CD further.'
What more could we ask for!"
- Satisfied Customer
Gifted Children...
"Math & Music is an excellent
multi-disciplinary program, perfectly suited to self-directed
learning. Good for younger children who have mastered basic
arithmetic operations and who are strong readers. The CD-ROM
alone, without the accompanying textbook, can be used as
enrichment for young emerging readers who are visual
learners.

"Math & the Cosmos is clearly the product of the author’s subject
matter expertise, intimate knowledge of the teenage learner, and a
lifetime of educational experience. It is also clearly a labor of
love, as reflected in the exceptional cohesiveness of the program.
The print and software components are clearly designed to one philosophy
and convey a very consistent 'voice', in contrast to the patchwork,
uneven quality of many instructional materials that are compiled by
more than one author. Educational technology is by nature personal,
as it runs on a 'personal computer'. Math & the Cosmos successfully
conveys this intimate connection between the teacher and student through
the craftsmanship of this technology product."

"For students who are already friends of math, this will be a treat. For students who are adverse to math, this will disarm them and allow them to feel comfortable as they learn math in the process of learning about classical history/literature and astronomy." - Luke Janka
Humanities Preparatory Academy - New York, New York

"The program is packed with content and the design makes it easy to zero in on a specific subject for remediation or practice. Also nice is the record keeping, which tracks progress for each student. The program features a good, clean interface that is easy to use, and would be ideal for a home school or classroom setting."

"The A BiggerWorld units are marvelous concepts and their interdisciplinary design plays on the way real kids
(and all the rest of us) really think. A challenging and mind-expanding approach to education."
