Powerful music production environment

SmartMusic software allows you to create and play interactive music lessons on your computer. The lesson features are entirely customizable, allowing you to tailor them to meet your student's needs. Students get immediate feedback as they play, making it easy for them to learn musical concepts at their own pace.

Explore the cloud music

SmartMusic features an interactive, ever-expanding cloud catalog of thousands of songs, including classical and art song repertoire, as well as pop and rock tunes from today's most famous artists. With Cloud, you can create new music with the same tools and settings as you on your desktop. You can also use Cloud to share projects with other SmartMusic users.

Teach with ease

SmartMusic helps teachers reach their students in two ways:

  • First, through a rich set of teaching resources. When students practice SmartMusic exercises using the Classroom tool, they see colorful images and audio tracks, which are available in both bass and treble clefs. Practice analytics also gives teachers detailed information about their student's progress through a score report.

  • Second, through easy-to-use tools that enable teachers to create and manage their own music lessons.

The SmartMusic Gradebook allows teachers to track their student's progress and assign grades. Teachers can also use the Gradebook to access student reports and see how individual students are doing on each SmartMusic exercise.

Cloud is compatible with the computer and mobile devices your students use today: smartphones, tablets, and computers. And it connects them all so that students can practice on their own devices, upload their work to the Cloud, and download it later.

Create music

The Compose tool allows performers to create original music or exercises directly in the software and then share them with others. Using other composition software, you can also import your own content from MIDI, MXL, MusicXML, or SMZ files that you've created elsewhere.

Compose contains standard and chord symbol notations and midi expression data such as dynamics and articulations. The software also allows you to edit and arrange your music, which means you can easily change a piece's key, tempo, or instrumentation. Compose has been designed with an emphasis on simplicity so that anyone can use it regardless of their musical background.

Generate sight-reading exercises

The Sight Singing Builder allows teachers to generate an unlimited number of unique sight reading activities, offering a comprehensive, integrated method for sight reading development. The software presents random chord structures, which students manipulate by playing them and transposing them to new keys. This is an essential practice tool for any musician wishing to develop their keyboard skills.

Practice

The Practice tool in SmartMusic is a collection of features that allow teachers and performers to assess and practice their music easily. It lets users quickly access scales, fingering exercises, rhythm exercises, etc. Users can also utilize MIDI devices such as MIDI keyboards, MIDI mallet devices, or MIDI drum pads. Built into SmartMusic are tools such as a tuner and metronome with tempo control options. These loops can be set to increase the tempo of each loop, fingerings displayed for each note, and the ability to transpose any piece of music in different keys at once for easy practice purposes.

Conclusions

SmartMusic is an excellent tool for teachers and performers alike. It provides a wide variety of tools that allow teachers to quickly assess student progress and provide an interactive environment in which they can practice and improve their skills. The software also allows users to swiftly access scales, fingering exercises, rhythm exercises, etc. This makes it easy to quickly find what you need to practice while also allowing some customization options based on user preference.
