SmartMusic Inbox -- the New Mobile App for Music Educators

by Scott Yoho 21. July 2011 06:53


After a record-breaking heat wave, today is a genuinely nice day here in Minnesota. Everyone is outside enjoying the weather – even music educators! Imagine sitting beneath a beautiful shade tree, enjoying a gentle breeze, while grading your students’ performances.  Huh?

Coinciding with the break in the weather, today we released the SmartMusic Inbox, a mobile app that provides music educators an alternative means to access and grade student assignments. Teachers can view how many notes their students performed correctly, hear a recording of each performance, assign a grade, and provide comments. Best of all they can do all of this anytime and anyplace!

While we can’t guarantee comfortable temperatures or the gentle breeze, we have made it easy to review and comment on your students’ work wherever you choose to be: The SmartMusic Inbox app is free for all current SmartMusic subscribers and is available now for Android and Apple smart phones, as well as Apple’s iPad and iPod Touch. Learn more on the Inbox webpage.

If you own one of these devices, and are using SmartMusic’s gradebook feature, please try it out and let us know what you think by clicking on “Comments” below.

Any plans to release a more full feature smartphone app?  The ability to pull any smart accompaniment file, tuner, metronome, literally out of your pocket would be pretty valuable.  None of my students carry laptops with them, but a ton of them have android phones or ipod touches.  This app would be HOT!

Just downloaded the new app for my iPhone.  I am really excited to start using this in the fall.  I remember thinking this past year how cool it would be to have a SmartMusic app on my phone.  Wouldn't you know it?  Now there is.  Awesome!

Hi;
When will the GradeBook feature be available outside the US?

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your interest. As I suspect you're aware, SmartMusic can be purchased, downloaded, and used anywhere. SmartMusic’s ability to send assignments, however, requires that we first work very carefully to comply with all applicable data privacy laws, and this isn’t always quickly accomplished. I’m glad to forward your suggestion that you’d like to see this happen in Hong Kong.

Best wishes, Scott at MakeMusic
