How do you use Smart Music to practice?

I use alot of the scales and rythem excersises to practice, they thend to help alot!

Which exercises do you find most beneficial?

The scales, becaue you can look at the fingerings with out having to dig through a binder.

Are you enjoying practicing more than you did without Smart Music?

Yes, because playing alone you didn't really know how your part fit in. With smart music you can hear everyone playing, when your all by yourself.

Is it helping you become a better musician?

As far as I can tell, yes. It just helps alot with scales and concert music!

The only complaint I have about smart music is that they don't have any of our concert music!

I just got smart music on my computer! I think it helps you hear not just yourself but what you sound like with everyone else.

I like to go through the essential elements books and find the things that are MY level, and attempt to play them.

I use the scales and rythem excersises to help me practice.The scales becaus ethey can show you the keys if you get them wrong.Yes because now I dont feel like im practicing alone it is like it is one of my buddys who is able to help me.Smart Music is helping me because if i was just practicing alone i really would not get anything done. The only complaint that i have is that they dont the sixth grade book on there website.

I just got it a few days ago but haven't been able to practice during thanksgiving since I wasn't home. So far it's pretty awesome, but I'm kinda sad because all it has guitar wise is electric bass! (I'm assuming all us instrumental geniuses know that it's pronounced "base" not "bass") Still. I'm very sad. I can only pray they'll update the instruments in the future. It's pretty awesome!

Peace & <3 (that's love people!)
