Many school music programs (including Hopkins) are using SmartMusic at all levels, and recommending it for their students' use at home. If your child is a vocalist, or involved in band or orchestra, this software can change the old boring method of repetitive practice into enjoyable entertainment. 

SmartMusic is an interactive music software that transforms the way students practice - they perform thousands of songs with background accompaniment. The package includes a one-year subscription, microphone, tuner, metronome, digital recorder, and more.

SmartMusic offers exciting titles such as selections from Harry Potter, Star Wars, and The Lord of the Rings. Students get instant feedback about each performance. And they get personalized instruction and encouragement. It’s like having your child’s teacher available 24/7. The result? Students make better music more quickly, their confidence grows, and they have more fun. As the music appears on-screen, students play along. Following each performance, SmartMusic provides an immediate assessment. Students see the notes they performed correctly displayed in green and the notes performed incorrectly in red. In addition, students record and listen to their performances to hear how they really sound. If they are pleased with their performance, they can even email the recording to grandma and grandpa!

With over 50,000 selections in the SmartMusic Library, you will more than likely find the solo, exercise, or method book your student has been assigned at school... or just wants to try!
