SmartMusic

No accompanist? No metronome? No tuner? No problem!

SmartMusic is the answer!

This revolutionary software is an incredible tool for all musicians.

It includes accompaniments for thousands of solos and method books.
The accompaniments can be adjusted to any tempo and waits for the soloist (you) to enter after interludes.
The solo part can be played or turned off, whatever you want.
A metronome is included and can be turned off or on.
A tuner is included and can be left on as you play.
You can record yourself playing so you can evaluate yourself.
... and tons more!

This is one of the greatest tools available for playing and learning. What's really cool is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's only $30 for a yearly subscription. You can even download the software for free with a few pieces to try it out.

Wow! If only this had been around when I was a kid!

Accompanists are hard to find and expensive! Now even State Solo Contests are using SmartMusic. No more a capella performances due to lack of an accompanist, and pianists don't have to play on hunkajunk pianos that are never tuned.

No, I don't think this software program will put our pianists friends out of business. There just aren't enough accompanists for everyone. Now we've got one that is at our beck and call whenever we want it! Plus, it's just a lot of fun.

A Kent State University study shows that playing with accompaniment leads to significant improvement in the ability to perform solo repertoire. And the transition to playing with an accompanist is a lot easier from SmartMusic than from practicing alone.

This amazing program is endorsed and promoted by famed trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis. See his demos here.
