It is our goal at Western High School to utilize this software program in the classroom and more importantly in the student's home.  I strongly encourage students to order Smart Music for their home computers.  Not only will students have fun learning music and exercises at home but they will have the advantage of extra time, privacy and comfort.  The software is only $36.00 for a year, which averages out to about only $3.00 a month.  The price of a cup of coffee!  Again, please visit the link or contact Ms. Hench for further information. 

SmartMusic is award-winning interactive music software that provides the ideal practice environment. With a subscription to SmartMusic, students have unlimited access to the world’s largest accompaniment library for all ages and skill levels, which includes thousands of pieces of music.  


Launch SmartMusic. Plug in the microphone, and start practicing. SmartMusic is ideal for woodwind, brass, percussion, string, and vocal musicians of all levels. Students play or sing their part with background accompaniment and get instant feedback on their computer.

Why SmartMusic makes learning music fun:
  • Play songs from a huge SmartMusic library.
  • Learn how your part fits with the rest of your musical group.
  • SmartMusic listens as you play, giving you instant feedback.
  • Move at your own pace and control the tempo and key of the music.
  • Record and play back your practice sessions. Students can even send recordings of their performances to their family to demonstrate their progress.
  • Play solos and SmartMusic will listen and follow your spontaneous tempo changes.
Teachers create and send customized assignments from a huge, growing library of band and orchestra titles, which includes solo contest pieces and popular method books. 
Students improve faster with instant feedback about which notes they’ve gotten right or wrong and by listening to recordings of their performance. 
Teachers grade assignments, track student progress, and can build portfolios of student work. 


Definitely better than practicing by yourself.  
Students play or sing their own part with accompaniment played by SmartMusic. With SmartMusic, you have an instant backup band right in your practice room. 

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. 

Correct fingering
If you need a reminder on how to play a note, click the note and SmartMusic will show you the correct fingering. 

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 playing 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.
