The final count saw us roughly matching last year's total student count of about 500 registered students (private, group class, clinics), and the audience attendence exceeded 10,000 people!Web:
The final count is impossible to calculate due to the site crash in October that took us off-line for 2 weeks, but we have crushed last year's on-line stats. In 2005 we had over 52,000 unique visits & over 700,000 hits (compared to roughly 24,000 visitors & 209,000 hits in 2004). In fact, our page views alone in the last 3 months of the year peaked over 38,000!We're not setting any world records, but it makes all of us here at the Music Lab feel great to see so many people enjoying the music, lessons, interviews, & resources! Thanx to every one of you...and keep the e-mails coming!
