Its owner and founder, Mike Klinger, established the business in 1988 as a resource for music educators and theological institutions. As a former teacher himself, he felt a need to leave teaching and address the music technology issues confronting fellow teachers. A full story of the company's development can be obtained by clicking on the picture of Mike Klinger above. Three services are currently provided: 

1) Music Technology Workshops (various course studies at beginning/intermediate & advanced levels)

 2) District In-Service Workshops 

3) Music Software and Hardware Sales at special educational & theological pricing. 

The music technology workshops are offered twice a year. During the summer months, workshops run from June thru September, Tuesday thru Fridays. During the winter months, workshops run February thru March and are held on Friday nights and Saturdays. All workshops are held at the new Mike Klinger Music Technology Retreat located in Carson, WA (50 miles east of Portland, OR). District In-Service Workshops can be arranged anytime of the year at either the retreat center or at the institutions facility.
