You'll never practice alone SmartMusic accompanies you while you practice so it can improve your musical performance in less time by making practicing more efficient and fun. Accompaniment improves performance A recent Kent State University study shows that significant improvement in the ability to perform solo repertoire comes from working with accompaniment. And the transition to playing with an accompanist is a lot easier from SmartMusic than from practicing alone. It not only accompanies you, it follows you Our exclusive Intelligent Accompaniment® can actually follow your spontaneous tempo changes like a good human accompanist, so you're free to express yourself. Or, if you're learning a piece, you can turn off Intelligent Accompaniment and follow the music's original tempo or the tempo of your choice.
Nurture important practice habits: Learning to Listen - Students who practice alone can perfect bad habits. Pitch, blend and balance are all casualties of students who do not listen as they sing or play. Indeed, listening as you rehearse and perform is a skill that must be encouraged and nurtured. The best way to develop this critical skill is to have accompaniment as often as possible when practicing. This way listening develops naturally and becomes second-nature. Understanding the music - You need accompaniment to respond to the complete musical composition, to contribute to the musical dialog. Also, only with accompaniment can you grasp the musical form and structure of a work. More importantly, you need accompaniment to sense and develop the drama and emotion of the music. Practicing slowly - Practicing difficult passages faster than you can sing or play them perfectly only means that you are practicing them imperfectly. Your body will remember how you performed a passage, so it is important that you practice it at a tempo you can handle confidently. SmartMusic encourages this discipline and lets you work passages up one notch at a time: Your body remembers accurate performances and allows you to develop technique in a consistent and reliable fashion. Recording yourself: Fast-track improvements - While performing, students do not hear how they perform nearly as well as when they listen to a recording of themselves. This is because their inner ear is not as evolved as their outer ear. The immediate feedback loop from recordings dramatically accelerates learning and improvement. SmartMusic makes it immediate and only one click away. With SmartMusic it is just as easy to record one measure to show a student how late his or her entrance is as it is to record an entire concerto for a college or all-state audition. Furthermore, SmartMusic allows you to save recordings to CD and even email them to teachers for a grade or to friends and family for a smile. Recordings last and document each student's progress through the years. SmartMusic Intelligent Accompaniments
