This week we added 25 new ensemble titles to the SmartMusic Repertoire Library. Included are new pieces for choir, concert band, jazz ensemble, and string orchestra (a full list appears below). Also added (but not listed) is an additional method, Do It! Play in Band, which includes several features not seen in a SmartMusic method previously, including play-along (call and response) and improvisation exercises.
The SmartMusic carousel has also been updated, and in recognition of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2016, we have added a Women in Music category, featuring SmartMusic titles composed and/or arranged by women.
