For Students

New this year!!!  We are using SmartMusic in band.

SmartMusic is an interactive, computer-based practice system helps students get better faster, and makes practicing more fun. With amazing accompaniments for more than 30,000 titles, challenging exercises, jazz improvisation, solo accompaniments, a built-in TUNER & METRONOME and the ability to record personal CDs, SmartMusic is the future of music learning at home. With SmartMusic loaded on a computer, students plug in a instrumental microphone and begin practicing. They play their part with accompaniment and receive, in real time on the computer, detailed feedback on their performance. Ideal for woodwind, brass, string, and vocal musicians of all levels.

Order online directly from the SmartMusic website: http://www.smartmusic.com/order/.  The SmartMusic CD and any accessories you purchase will be mailed directly to your home.  You can also choose to purchase a microphone and other accessories. A microphone is required for recording, Intelligent Accompaniment, tuning and assessment. While most microphones (including built-in mics) will work with SmartMusic, we recommend the SmartMusic microphone because it has undergone extensive testing to ensure the best results with the program. It also has a clip (instrumental) or headset (vocal) to place the mic in the optimal position.

Please contact SmartMusic if you have any questions or comments.  SmartMusic Customer Service 888-874-2144.  www.smartmusic.com
