Essential Elements Interactive is a fun way to connect your book with music to play along with you. Now you can also have it tell you how you did, showing immediate feedback of notes and rhythms played correctly. Recordings and videos can be sent to me with any account that we have already connected to school using the school code "Bandlandia". More information will be provided in lessons!

SmartMusic is a great tool that our students can use to help their performance.  Software subscriptions can be purchased for home, using the link below, for only $40 per year.  A subscription will give each student access to all the lesson books we use, many solos for All-County and NYSSMA, and even some of our band music.  Even better yet, it doesn't just play along with your performer, it can also tell the students what they played correctly or incorrectly and how to fix it (showing the correct fingerings for notes misplayed or rhythm timing).

The other links below are for some of the music organizations that run the festivals we attend.
