A new version of SmartMusic for iPad is now available at the Apple iTunes Store.

This release brings the new carousel experience (found on the desktop version of SmartMusic and seen above) to the iPad. All students will now see SmartMusic repertoire suggestions and will find browsing for music greatly simplified. Our goal in making repertoire more discoverable is to inspire students to practice more.

Also included in this release are:

• Support for SmartMusic accompaniments that include higher-quality VST/AU instrument sounds (which can now be created in Finale 2014.5)
• Improved assessment, specifically on iPad Air 2 and other newer iPad models
• Overall stability and interface improvements
