Multiple License Discounts of S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners

It's Saturday, August 1, 2020. 

And it's a new world.  

In most of the USA, school starts in the next week or so.  

I just got off the phone with a woman who was the finance person in charge of district purchases.   We'll call her Sarah.

One of the teachers in the district where Sarah has worked for 43 years led the charge for a district-wide purchase of S-Cubed on TpT so that all of the teachers in that district could have access to the program legally.  

School districts are a little behind the curve on technology, but teachers who teach in the schools are not, so I really appreciated this teacher who helped to make it happen.

Executing this sort of thing to happen requires tenacity.

"Can I not get this discount from JW Pepper where you also sell your program?"

"No.  You can't.  They have a policy of not participating in discounts for anything."

These are typical questions.  

Sarah, the finance person, called me 5 times during the process of the purchase, and I guided her each step of the way.  After all, anyone who has worked anywhere for 43 years has already strived to do everything right.  That's part of the reason why she's still there.  

I'm assuming that Sarah must be well into her 60's...if she's worked there for 43 years...but she was bound and determined to get it done correctly even though this technology was not familiar.  In 1977, the interweb wasn't a thing.  In fact, they may have even still had "party lines" on the phones with AT@T, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

The district supervisor and I had negotiated a district discount, and we made sure that happened.

She knew that once she pressed "make purchase", it was done, and so did I.

I promised her that if I had messed up the purchase process and that they were shorted a license, I'd make sure they got the license they needed for free.  

And it all worked out.  

I am thankful for Sarah.  I am thankful for the teacher who led the charge to get this program for all of the teachers in their district.  

With any of the bundles of S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners, The MEGA Bundle, Level ONE, or the recently renovated version of the program, Distance Learning Version Level ONE intended for those who are teaching virtually during the corona virus pandemic, I am more than happy to work with any district leader to get a discount that enables all of the teachers in that district to have access to the program if they purchase through TpT.    TpT sets the multiple license discount at 10%, but, after 29 years teaching in public school, I understand districts budgets and am happy to arrange a multiple license discount that works for the individual district.  

All your supervisors and principals need to do is to email me at inthemiddlewithmrd@gmail.com and write "Multiple License Discount" in the subject line, and we will make it happen.  

My program has been available in this format (digitally and with multiple license discounts, with extra digital assessments on Music Prodigy and MusicFirst) since 2014, but there seems to be an immediacy at that moment...a willingness to learn and figure out the new way.

I'm here for it.
