The purpose of this presentation was to introduce workshop attendees to SmartMusic, a practice and assessment program developed by Make Music. I showed three videos that demonstrated: 1) how to get started on SmartMusic; 2) the main features of the program; and 3) how to use SmartMusic in a band and orchestra classroom.
I demonstrated to workshop attendees what students experience as they practice with, and submit their assignments on SmartMusic. I also showed teachers in attendance the assessment features of the program by grading a real time playing test.
Attached below are the resources that I shared with workshop attendees that will provide more information about SmartMusic. Click on each link to access information about SmartMusic.
