SmartMusic – Makes Music Education and Practice Seamless

SmartMusic is a web-based suite of music education tools that support efficient practice, helping musicians to develop and grow.

While SmartMusic has been best known for its powerful suite of web-based tools that support efficient practice and student accountability, it remains committed to offering music teachers and students the best learning solutions, for all instructional settings.

Inspired by the overwhelming response after providing SmartMusic for free to all schools affected by COVID-19 closures, we’ve added yet another powerful tool to the SmartMusic platform—Print on Demand.

Increased accessibility

The reality is that many students currently do not have access to a personal device—some have to share a device, or may have unreliable internet at home for accessing SmartMusic. Teachers will now be able to bridge that gap by taking advantage of the Print on Demand feature to provide students with the music they otherwise may not be able to easily access online.

Every learner has their own style

While SmartMusic undoubtedly offers the best digital tools and solutions including immediate feedback, Sight Reading Builder, the Compose notation tool, looping, a metronome, and tuner, having the option to print music gives every student an opportunity to excel regardless of their learning style. Playing from a printed page also allows students an opportunity to build their own listening and internal assessment skills, complementing SmartMusic’s built-in performance assessment.

SmartMusic Offers Interactive Digital Sheet Music for All Levels. 

Music Learning Software for Educators & Students. Band, Orchestra, & Choir. 

SmartMusic is music learning software for educators and students. Make practicing and tracking student progress easy and fun.

How does it work?

  1. In Find Music, users can filter by Printable Titles to view the full list of titles that allow for the Print on Demand feature.
  2. Select a piece, and open it in the Practice App to view printing options.
  3. There are two options for printing your part as found in the top Print menu—SmartMusic Display and Custom Display. The SmartMusic Display option will print the default display as it appears in the Practice App, while the Custom Display allows for resizing of the music on the page to fit your visual needs. You can resize the music under the Display tab.
  4. Click either the SmartMusic Display or Custom Display button to generate a document to print.
