"I'm excited about your Music Rules! program! I ALWAYS talk with my students about the importance of copyright laws and intellectual property rules. This is very good support for teachers! Thanks!"
-- S.W., Laguna Niguel, CA



"I found your Music Rules! website to be very informative. I also appreciate the emphasis that your program places on resposibility and protection of intellectual property. I do believe that most people really are not aware of the infringement that takes place when someone's creativity is exploited. I plan to share the Music Rules Program with my students. Both the elementary and the middle school students could benefit from this information."
-- S.B., Bellerose, NY



"Finally some one has come out with some cool information to share with students in 3rd to 8th grade about the why's and why not's of being responsible when using music for their projects! Keep the reminders coming, as I will also."
-- Mrs. A., Concord, CA



"Looks great! I teach a digital music lab and recording studio, and the content on your website seems to match my curriculum. Thanks!"
-- G.S., San Diego, CA



"My middle school students and I have really enjoyed Music Rules! The lessons cleared up a lot of questions about what songlifting is and when our behavior is considered songlifting. We've also become more aware of the different types of industry people who rely on CD manufacturers for their living! Thanks!"
-- S.P., Chicopee, MA



"Thanks for a GREAT program. I have used Music Rules! with my 5-8 grade music classes and we have had some very heated debates. What a great way to start the school year! It is amazing how little the kids, and adults, know about illegal copying and downloading. I will use this curriculum again in the future."
-- A.R., Clarksdale, AZ



"Music Rules! is great, I plan to use it in the computer ethics part of my course."
-- R.W., Amityville, NY



"Thanks for the great resources and lesson plans. I've been looking for something like Music Rules! to use in my classroom. Students are not aware of what they are doing when they download music--we have to educate them."
-- L.K., Kettering, OH



"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful program this is. I've just completed it for the second time this year; all the student in my school have now been through the program. The activities are great and the students were very interested to learn about this subject; it is very relevant to them. Most importantly, I found that most of my students were NOT violating any of the copyright provisions. Thank you again for this great middle school resource!"
-- L.W., Springfield, TN
