Smart Music

This is a program that has been used a lot for homework. The Program is interactive the students get to listen to a back track, see their part and play along separately, use a metronome, and get pitches from this program. Smart Music has really taken off, in the back of Essential Elements 2000, there are CDroms with the music in the book. This book essential elements is a standard that most band or any music educator has used and still use.  The program records how a student performance was. It checks what notes were played incorrectly, what rhythm was off, and also what the student did instead. If a student is having some trouble with their part they can slow it down, listen to their part alone, or listen to the accompaniment and play along without their part. This program will even give yo fingerings for a note you forgot the fingering for, really these guys thought of everything. It is a great program used throughout the US and is a fun new way for music educators to get accurate quick results from their students. It give personal feedback on what the student needs help on as well as an overall average of how the students played. It gives students the chance to have an interactive experience outside of the classroom. It is fantastic way for students to learn music.
