The hardworking elves on the SmartMusic Repertoire Development Team recently released a new collection, titled Spooky Solos, just in time for, well, fall. Everything in the collection—the arrangements, the audio accompaniments, and even the impressive jack-o-lantern on the cover—was created by MakeMusic employees. They've compiled (and composed) some really fun pieces—for 19 instruments—that students will enjoy year-round.
