SmartMusic is a web-based music practice tool for in-school and out-of-school music educators, performers, and students.
Teachers and students can search a massive music library, including contemporary pieces and classic selections for soloists and ensembles.
When teachers search for pieces, they can instantly view key details and create assignments that feature selections from their chosen pieces.
Teachers can assign passages or pieces for their students to practice; the site can record them as they practice, showing instant feedback on correctly played pitches and rhythms.
Students sign up with an access code after their teachers create a class.
There are extensive how-to videos and documents for teachers, parents, and students.
The teacher resources are especially detailed and extensive.
