While these videos were produced 12-30 years ago, the teaching quality and techniques are just as relevant today as they were decades ago. We have gone back to the original master tapes to digitize the videos in segments for download. Instead of paying for an entire video like the original DVD, you can purchase the segments you want at a reduced cost. Segments from each title is now available for purchase by an individual for private use (no public performance rights). Schools and teachers who want the public performance rights to these videos may contact us directly for custom pricing.
