SMARTMUSIC

SmartMusic is an online music tool for students (practicing) and teachers (creating assignments and assessing progress).  Students improve faster with instant feedback about which notes are right or wrong and by listening to recordings of their performance. Teachers can create customized assignments, track student progress and build portfolios of student work.  We use this software often for student assessment in the classroom. This is a subscription service and the cost is approximately $36.00 per year.  Sign up now and get the most out of your practice sessions!
