the music educator blog

Here at SmartMusic, we pride ourselves on having a music library like no other—currently home to hundreds of methods and thousands of ensemble and solo pieces (and counting) ready for teachers to assign, and students to practice.

This month, we’ve added 24 new titles to the SmartMusic repertoire library, including new pop solos, ensemble titles, and flexible arrangements. 

This episode is all about your students. As much as we, as teachers, need help and advice, I think we can agree our students need help too.

Last month we were excited to share PDF catalogs of SmartMusic’s extensive library on our blog, but as we continue to add new content on a regular basis, it’s already time to share an update on the new titles added since then.

Renowned voice instructor Dale Duncan has been teaching middle-school students for 29 years, guiding thousands of young people to master sight singing along the way.

In 1957, while prohibited from traveling outside the US because of his political activism, Paul Robeson performed on a choral festival in Wales run by a mineworkers union.

This fall, SmartMusic is proud to team up with Varsity Performing Arts to support their “Together As One – One Nation“ initiative, which offers a fully arranged, designed, and choreographed marching band performance free of charge to any school or band director.

Now more than ever, it’s important for us to practice collaboration and to creatively communicate in ways that are meaningful for others—especially our students.
