Smart Music SubscriptionSmartMusic is the award winning software used by music students around the world to dramatically enhance their playing skills. Student practice is focused because they receive immediate feedback while listening to their performance and seeing the correct and incorrect rhythms and pitches onscreen. It also allows the teacher to provide students with the individual instruction and customized feedback needed to get better faster. Students are also able to hear their part in context with SmartMusic’s professional background accompaniment, giving them a pitch and rhythmic reference when practicing at home.
SmartMusic is purchased as an annual subscription, which gives your student access to the largest digital sheet music library with accompaniment in the world. This tool is great for all students - from beginners plying out of method books, to advanced students practicing solo repertoire. |
