Cloudbased music software

These are music programs that are available on-line. We will use these programs at school, in our classroom, throughout the school year. You can also use these same programs from home or on your smartphone or tablet.

Noteflight.com

Noteflight.com is a cloud based music notation program. You may sign up for an account for free. This will allow you to compose, arrange and search works by other composers around the country.

All school assignments will be done using a closed noteflight community just for our North Salem students. Each student will receive their own account. This community is available here.

Soundcloud

We will use soundcloud to post recordings and practice tracks. We can all make comments to those tracks. You can also record your own playing and post it for others to hear.

Smart Music

SmartMusic is an interactive music learning software program. We will use this software in class. You may also purchase a subscription to use at home. Please visit the website for more info.

Why SmartMusic makes practicing fun:

• Choose from thousands of pieces in our SmartMusic library
• Learn how your part fits within the ensemble through accompaniment
• SmartMusic listens as you play, giving you instant feedback on assessable files
• Move at your own pace by controlling the tempo and clicktrack with subdivisions
• Isolate difficult phrases of any length with the loop tool
• Record and play back your practice sessions for self assessment
• Send mp3 recordings to family members and friends
• Solo repertoire accompaniment follows spontaneous tempo changes
