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.
