SmartMusic is interactive music learning software which we use for both practice and assessment.  For technical reasons, we have not used it for the past couple of years.  Since then, SmartMusic has undergone a major overhaul and is now available in an online platform.  The great thing about this is that the students can access it via their school-issued device without having to download the software.

Currently we are testing it out with Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band brass and woodwinds.  Once we’ve worked out the bugs, we will have Concert Band begin using it.

Our long-term goal is to assess the students on their scales, technical proficiency, and sightreading ability.  We also anticipate assessing the students on their UIL concert music this spring and our marching show next summer.

We ask for your patience as we implement this new/updated technology.
