MTLC-16 Features

What Is It?

The MTLC-16 is an integrated stereo hardware/software lab teaching system that includes animated music notation, an electronic gradebook, and drag ‘n’ drop classroom management tools. It consists of several integrated components.

The MTLC-16 is a “break-out” product for group piano teaching. It features stereo sound, computerized record-keep- ing, and most important—visual display of all music lessons and literature. The MTLC-16 provides research-class tech- nology to tutor music reading skills. Improved reading skills—long an elusive goal—are not only possible, but readily attainable for all students, especially those needing remediation.

This technology-enhanced learning can continue beyond the classroom door. The visual core of the MTLC-16 is avail- able for student purchase. Imagine the progress possible when students have this visual tutor guiding them wherever they practice. Check with your local Roland dealer or your college/university bookstore.
