LC2 Plus Music Lab
An Affordable Modular System for Educational Musical Instrument Labs

The LC2 Plus offers music educators an intuitive, flexible way to teach a group of students all at once, one-on-one, or split into smaller groups all without ever leaving their own instrument. The basic LC2 System comes with everything an 8-student lab needs to be added to virtually any electronic instrument with an audio or headphone output.

Lab-Based Music Education
The system effectively allows an instructor ubiquitous control over classes expandable to as many as 48 students. Using a system of headphones/mics, it's as if each student is isolated in their own practice room, ideal for private practice or one-on-one instruction with a teacher. But with the touch of a button the practice room walls are instantly removed for group study, teacher-only broadcasts, or "all-together-now" ensemble performances, instructors even have a powerful mute button disabling the students' instruments when it's time to pay attention.

FINALE NOTEPAD
The gold standard in music notation software. When connected to a USB or MIDI keyboard, a music instructor can play notes into Finale Notepad as a visual aid, or Finale Notepad can play notes directly to the keyboard as an aural example. A Mac or PC can connect to a large class monitor or projector to have music seen and heard by the entire class.

STANDARD PIANO REPERTOIRE
The Finale Notepad files are well-known piano classics. Simply open the desired file in Finale Notepad and press PLAY(spacebar) to start and stop playback of the piece. Students can follow the cursor, watch the notes and listen to Finale Notepad play the instructor's connected USB or MIDI keyboard as an aural and visual example of what certain pieces are supposed to sound like.

DIGITAL MUSIC NOTEBOOK
DMN is essentially a digital sheet music viewer for downloading, playing, and printing music straight off the Internet. Literally thousands of titles are available. Files including lessons, guitar tablature, karaoke lyric files and more are there for your perusal and normally offered as a pay-per-song service. But as an LC2 lab owner you are given a coupon code for TWO free titles of your choice. With a projector or large LCD, use DMN as a visual aid for reviewing sheet music. Or even print a title for a student in your class.
