Smartmusic

I was talking to my lovely girlfriend on the phone after receiving a message from a bar looking for acts to book (you know those random myspace messages that sees a genre and automatically asks if you wanna book with them) when I checked my school mail and there was an email requesting that we all buy a subscription to Smartmusic.com

From what I've gathered (and have paid $45.95) is this site helps the music student practice. You purchase a subscription (the average is $100 a pop), and then you purchase the necessary accessory (a foot pedal, a vocal mic, a instrument clip, and some other deal), and in a week or two you will have the software and mic at hand.

I guess in two weeks I shall review my first time experience with this product. I've ran into this product before when I was a Music Ed Major. I had to sign up for the MENC and with that I received a subscription to two journals of music, and one reviewed or listed gifts for your musician in your life-Smartmusic was one of those gifts.

I think I'll check it out even further, and comment on it later in the month.

But I saw the Departed


I'm not one for guns and blood but damn I enjoyed this movie...

Maybe it was the Irish ass kicking

or Dropkick Murphy's "I'm Shipping Up to Boston"

Another similar product is StarPlay, which is free with any Sibelius or Scorch file. This allows you to perform your own pieces with accompaniment and receive instant assessment on your performance.

Alternatively, you can choose to pay between $0.99 and $2.99 for music provided - which includes videos of conductors, professional musicians, bands and orchestras!
