Don, I believe music should be taught in every elementary and high school as a core course the same as math, language, science and math. Music is a basic component of humanity.

I raised my awareness of the amazing teaching capabilities of BIAB as I researched the program to see if it was age appropriate and had a capacity to address its complexity for my 13 year old granddaughter's Christmas gift this year. ( I found it was, and she got the 2016 Pro Pak.)

My inspiration was spawned from testimonials posted this past year. For some, such as Eric Blackmon, it is a primary tool. But I was particularly influenced by TexasHeartRush and Zane Carney who used BIAB to greatly improve their skills.

I also noted you and at least one other gentleman had found that BIAB was able to allow you to overcome physical disabilities and keep your mind and heart in making music that would have been lost to you otherwise.
