Business Wire
MakeMusic, Inc. (NASDAQ: MMUS) today announced that SmartMusic®,
the music learning software for band, orchestra and choir, now
includes more than 2,000 band and orchestra titles. Among the
recently added titles are Grainger’s “Lincolnshire Posy,” Gould’s
“American Salute” and Barnes’ “Heatherwood Portrait” for concert
band, Bach’s Third Movement from the Brandenburg Concerto #4 for
string orchestra, and Thor Johnson’s arrangement of Handel’s “Music
for the Royal Fireworks” for full orchestra.
Originally known for solo accompaniments, recent additions to
the SmartMusic repertoire library have focused on the music that
bands and orchestras rehearse and perform. In addition to providing
classic SmartMusic features of assessment, recording, tempo, key
and looping controls, these titles allow students to hear how the
piece sounds performed by the entire ensemble, and how their part
fits in with the group. Band and orchestra titles also include
pre-authored, educator-approved assignments for each piece, which
educators can share with students through the SmartMusic
Gradebook™.
“We are delighted at having surpassed the 2,000 title landmark,”
stated MakeMusic CEO Ron Raup, “Repertoire continues to be the most
influential factor in the purchase decision, and the base of
commonly performed titles we've built ensures the relevancy of
SmartMusic to all band and orchestra programs.”
New titles can be viewed here. Follow our activities on Twitter,
