ACCESSING THE METHOD BOOK: Open SmartMusic by clicking on the SmartMusic icon on your desktop. (You can also open it from the “start” menu. Click on “start,” then “programs,” then “SmartMusic,” then “SmartMusic.”)

If you have not set up an account, click on “create an account” and follow the on screen directions.

If you have set up an account, enter your e-mail address and password and click “log in.” When prompted, enter your security key and click “ok.”

On the left side of the screen, under the Home tab find the “library” tab and click on it. Underneath the library tab you will see Solos, Exercises, Method Books, Jazz Improvisation, Band & Orchestra, etc. Click on “Method Books.” From the method book listing, double click on the name of the book we are using. th th (6 Gradeis using Essential Elements Band Book 1. 7Grade is using Essential Elements Band Book 2.) This will open the lesson book. A picture of the book will appear at the top of the screen. To the right of the picture of the lesson book is a tab for choosing your instrument. Click on the down arrow to open the drop down menu. This shows the names of the instruments. Click on the name of your instrument to select it.

SmartMusic Tutorial USING THE METHOD BOOK Once you have opened the lesson book, you can scroll through the tracks (exercises) to find the track you would like to play. Double click on the track to open it. By default, the accompaniment to the track will play without the melody (your part). To hear the melody (your part), select (click on) “my part” in the Tracks box. If you do not want to hear the accompaniment, deselect (click on) “accompaniment” in the Tracks box. To play a track, click “Start take.” You will hear a count off of 4 clicks then the track will begin. The clicks indicate the speed of the quarter notes. You will see a green bar that shows where you are in the track. If you are playing along with the track (and your mic is plugged in), SmartMusic will show you which pitches you played correctly (in green) and which ones you missed (in red) and what your overall percentage correct was on that take. If you want to listen to your take, click “listen.” If you want to keep that take, click “keep.”You can keep as many takes as you want.

SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS

When you have completed an assignment, you can send it to Mr. Bradley or Mr. VanScoy by clicking on the “submit” button. It is on the bar next to “listen,” “keep” and “MP3” buttons.

TUTORIAL VIDEOS

By clicking on the Help tab on the toolbar, you can access tutorial videos. These are well done and will guide you through many of the features of SmartMusic. I would encourage you to watch them.
