MakeMusic! Inc. has released SmartMusic 8.4, the latest version of the company's award-winning music practice system.

SmartMusic has a patented feature that listens to musicians perform and follows their spontaneous tempo changes just as an accompanist would. Students using SmartMusic can perform music, then immediately listen to how they sound via a CD-quality recording that can be e-mailed to family, friends and teachers or saved to disk for a permanent performance portfolio. With select method books, students' performances are assessed on screen with colored notes showing what they did wrong and how to do it right. When students use SmartMusic in their practice, their grades can be e-mailed automatically to their teachers.
