If you think it mightn't be a distant dream, then I would like to drum up some support over here if only I knew how to go about it.

At present I am the only trainer in Quebec who can train our clients both software and hardware, and of course using braille music should they desire it. Client who also purchase the software and belong to my rehab centre also can benifit from the training too. I'm telling you it took a long time to get the government to get me to teach the software, but with a little help from another rehab centre, and trainer, who I have millions of thanks to give, is how this all happened, and of course the client as well. imagine what a conversation in a restaurant can do. After some clarification to one of the government representatives, it all started going on the right track. I can't stress how much the training in the music software packages is needed. I remember about 10 years ago having to learn this software on my own with only the good guidance of the guys from Dancingdots, and David Pinto, and Gord just to mention but a few. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 5:51 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Training On Music Technology Products Hi all! Thought I should change the subject line to reflect the content. Mike Christer wrote: snip, 4 years ago, I was in the same boat, and believe me, if I'd known about the services provided by Chris,Phil or Tim, I would've made a 'B' line for the first one of them who had the time available. It really would be money well spent, you could learn all this stuff in a couple of sessions, and the stress you're causing yourself would be totally avoided! Phil replied: Yes, & remember that if you're working professionally as a musician in the UK then, you are entitled to Access to work support. For any of you who don't know about this, the government will pay for training or accessibility related stuff, such as training on how to use hardware such as the Tascam FW-1884, software such as Cake Talking, Sound Forge, Sibelious, or training on how to use HotSpotClicker etc. Also, if you're currently attending an educational establishment on a music course and you feel that you need some training then, we may be able to help. Finally, we offer world wide training via Skype. Both Tim and I are experienced in this specialised field and train musicians on music technology hardware and software. Part of this training could include creation of HotSpotClicker support in plug-ins and applications that currently don't have support. That's how we were able to get the .HsC sets for the LiquidMix going. If any of you require support in this way then, feel free to contact myself or, Tim privately. Either of us will be happy to help you put a quotation together for Access To work. Note: we don't charge for helping you write the quotation so, ultimately this will all cost you nothing but could result in you gaining some training.
