Presenting at Music Teachers Association of California, 2013
“Viss’ lecture was informative, dynamic, and fun. Participants were engaged from the start. Even though the atmosphere was casual, it was clear that she knew exactly where she wanted to go and how to get there. I was especially interested in how she integrated iPad apps into an active, group learning environment.”
