PRIVATE INSTRUCTOR, UNLIMITED LESSONS, FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE $40 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!
SMART MUSIC!!!!!!!! GET IT!
Want a private instructor 24/7, 365 days a year? How does $40 sound for that? SMART MUSIC is a software program that is an incredibly helpful and fun way to motivate and increase your child's musicianship. It does this by turning their instrument into a musical video game controller. The program has an enormous library of tunes that will pique your child's interest to practice.
It also gives them feedback by listening to their performance and grading them on their accuracy and skill level. Students who use this want to get the 100% and will try again and again to get that perfect score. (It's called old-fashioned practice). In the past, I've noticed major improvement in the students that used it. SMART MUSIC is the next best thing to having private instruction.
If you have more than one child in the band program, they can share one subscription.
See for yourself how it works by watching this short VIDEO.
