Reviews
SmartMusic is a product of Makemusic, Inc. It is an outstanding tool for music instruction, practice, and music teacher classroom management. The features are always being updated and improved with the most cutting edge music technology. The only stumbling block for people may be that it is subscription based. I use it with some practice room subscriptions. $44.00/year To send and manage “assignments” a Teacher subscription is required $140.00/year, but worth “every dollar.” Students Subscriptions give the student full access to any device with the SmartMusic software or iPad app installed. $40.00/year
Just this past year an iPad app was released and with the coordination of Finale (music notation software) this program is infinitely powerful.
If you are looking for a music tool that will give you “performance data,” this is the ticket!

Love it. I wish I would have had this when I started out.
