Consultations for technology issues are available for iPhones, iPads, Mac desktop and laptop computers, printers, certain software and applications, and photo organization and scanning. If you are a Mac user, I can help you create memory or holiday greeting videos that can be sent via e-mail or text, and I have a photo scanner that allows a person to convert their photo albums into digital collections. I am a very patient teacher and coach. I go through directions slowly, demonstrate slowly, and repeat steps several times. I didn't grow up with computers--I was forced to change from a typewriter to a laptop while I was writing my dissertation. I know what it is like to learn about technology as an adult. I am mostly self-taught in terms of technology, although I did take a course in online teaching and several professional development courses in a variety of areas in technology. I learned how to design and edit webpages on my own as part of my desire to promote my music teaching. I started incorporating technology into my performing and teaching at the university, and I have presented clinics around the country on various topics that combined music with technology. I offer a free 15-minute consulation to discuss your issues. If I am unable to fix your issue after we meet in person, I won't charge you a fee. If I work with you on a technical issue that I can solve or with you on a technology project, the fee is $100 an hour. I have offered classes to adults at a local library, but I prefer one-to-one teaching. The most popular classes that I presented were on iPads/tablets, smartphones, and on photo organization.
