The new SmartMusic Web views imported content as a "book," which can be immensely helpful in collecting a wide variety of material for a single assignment. I won't walk you through the tutorial, but I will share a few screenshots and descriptions of the process. We did this to import our Fall 2016 marching show.

The new smartmusic update#
We will update this post as we go through the process. Grading AssignmentsĪs our first assignment is due this weekend, we have not yet had the opportunity to work through the grading part of the new platform.
When every student has a part assigned, I can click Finish and it assigns the part. I can, however, select multiple boxes below All | None to assign a singular part to many students. If I click Automatically Assign and their chosen Instruments do not align with available parts, then nothing will be automatically assigned to them. You can see that some of them were a bit creative when choosing their instruments. I've blanked out my students' names and profile pictures. The list of available studies and instruments has been growing as we have continued to use the platform. What you see in the screenshot is what is currently available. As you can see, not all of the instruments are available for all of the different studies. Most of our assessment material comes from the Studies in Melodic Interpretation section. For example, we use the Rubank Advanced Method Volume 1 with our 10-12th Grade Students. I should also caution you that the entire library that is available in the Classic SmartMusic is not yet fully converted to the new SmartMusic Web. This appears to be contrary to how SmartMusic is advertising the platform. More on assigning below.Īs of right now, it appears our students are able to search and open content in the library that we have NOT assigned to them. Clicking Assign only prompts me to choose a movement. Clicking Open prompts me to choose a Movement (even if it is not a multi-movement work) and an Instrument. I am able to Filter Results after searching. Administering the PlatformĪs the Administrator on our account, I invited our 5 teachers to the platform. They are continuing to add and refine features, to take feature requests, and to provide quality support for the new product. I should preface this post with the statement that the web-based version of SmartMusic is not yet a finished product.
The new smartmusic upgrade#
PLAY: Upgrade individual student accounts to access the full library. A block of 5 additional students is also $40. Students can only access materials that are assigned to them. TEACH: 3 teachers can assign repertoire from the full library to 50 students for $399.
Library is limited to SmartMusic's free catalog ( Free Selections 1 & Free Selections 2). TEACH Free: Allows teachers to try out the new SmartMusic Web prior to purchasing. Christopher Russell has a description of the different platforms, but here is a brief summary: We were awarded a grant for our 5 teachers and 116 teachers to have SmartMusic Teach subscriptions. This year, we have been using the new web-based version of SmartMusic with our 10-12th grade students.
