What is SmartMusic? SmartMusic is an award winning software used by music educators around the world to enhance their music programs. SmartMusic provides a unique way for students to improve their musical skills. Student are given immediate feedback while performing and can then see their mistakes, marked by the program, on their screen. It also allows teachers to provide students with individual instruction and customized feedback necessary to improve. Students are able to hear their part in context with SmartMusic’s professional background accompaniment, giving them a pitch and rhythmic reference when practicing at home.
SmartMusic is purchased as an annual subscription through the school district. We will sign up together in classes and continue to use it for quick check ins and homework assignments throughout the year.
How We Use SmartMusic at Marlowe SmartMusic is used at Marlowe as a practice and assessment tool for students to use outside of the classroom - students will receive assignments throughout the quarter to be completed outside of class time as homework assignments. This helps the students and teachers keep track of progress throughout the school year. Students will register for SmartMusic during the first month of 6th grade school during band class using their Chromebooks.
