Making Practice Fun

Never practice alone. Get instant feedback.

SmartMusic is interactive music software that helps students practice music, get better faster, and make practicing more fun. With amazing accompaniments for thousands of titles, challenging exercises, and the ability to interact online with your music teacher, SmartMusic is the future of music learning.

Get instant feedback

When you play with SmartMusic, the software follows what you’re playing and shows you on the computer screen how well you’re doing. Correctly played notes turn green. Notes you miss turn red. It’s easy to figure out where you need more practice.

Move at your own pace

Start practicing slowly until you get the hang of it, and then increase the tempo. SmartMusic puts you in control. If you already submitted the assignment your teacher gave you, you can move ahead to new songs.

Make a recording of your performance

Record yourself singing with or without your SmartMusic backup band as accompaniment. Be the star of your own CD to share with family or friends! Or send a recording to your teacher for review and grading.
