SmartMusic subscriptions as of July month end numbered 111,561, representing a net gain of 502 from the previous month and a 19% increase over the prior year.

SmartMusic GradebookTM, the web-based student grading and records management system included with SmartMusic, showed 158 teachers have issued assignments, a 14% increase over July of last year. Gradebook teachers, those having issued assignments to 50 or more students, totaled 6 at the end of July. This is comparable to 1 Gradebook teacher at the end of July of last year.

Finally, the number of SmartMusic educator accounts was 8,572 compared to 8,616 at the end of June, a decrease of 44 accounts.

As of June 30, 2009 the definition of SmartMusic site licenses was slightly modified. In order to continue to qualify for the volume purchase discount, a purchasing entity must have purchased 100 or more subscriptions upon the one-year anniversary of the site license agreement date. If they did not achieve the 100 subscription level, they no longer qualify for the discount and the site license is not counted in our reported totals. The effect of these changes represents a slight reduction, but more accurate count of the monthly total site license numbers. The updated SmartMusic monthly site license totals are shown in the SmartMusic metrics table below.
