The Springville Junior High and High School Orchestras are using a program called Smart Music. This program is used for playing test and more. Smart Music allows students to evaluate and listen to the way they play their instrument. Not only does it work for orchestra, but it works for band, choir and more. Students can also tune their instrument and find and play other music during their free time. Also, the instructor, Dr. Samuel Tsugawa, can give assignments through Smart Music.
Students can use this program either at home or at school. The program sells for about $24.00. When bought students receive a microphone and a CD to download to their computer. Orchestra students enjoy Smart Music. Sarah Smith, an eighth grader at SJHS, has been using smart music for two years and said, “I like smart music, it helps me practice and get better, and shows how much we’ve improved.”
