Smart Music Students are encouraged to get the Smart Music program. You can go to www.smartmusic.com to find out about the program. It’s a great tool to help you prepare for S&E. Smart Music has recordings of many of the pieces as well as the piano accompaniment. This way students can play along with the accompaniment on smart music. Smart Music will also record and give you feedback on your performance. I will go over how to use the program in class in the next few weeks.
