• Joanne Jordan: "For me, GoodFeel has been a dream come true. The Music Director of my choir creates MusicXML files for me so I can import them in to Lime. One fellow choir member has recently even created Lime files for me. This software has been a godsend. I have also used it to study piano and voice privately. GoodFeel helps me out in every way."
• DH from Iowa: "Over the last few years, the GOODFEEL® software has helped me to print out new music and to compose my own pieces of music. Without this software I would not be where I am today in my music education and music-making. It has made it easier for me to learn music by listening to it and reading it as a braille score. I can print my own compositions for a sighted person to read. It is so amazing how other people sighted or not can play my music. I play the flute and it is wonderful how I can learn any piece of music that my flute teacher gives me.
  No matter what technical problems I have had the people at Dancing Dots have always helped me to overcome them. My aim in life is to become a music teacher and I am sure I will be able to achieve this with this wonderful software."
