Woodwind and Brass students are required to purchase the $30 student subscription for SmartMusic through the school. Mr. Levin will take care of ordering your software and registering you. Think of it as your "workbook" for band. Regular assignments will be given over the internet using SmartMusic. Students will use the software (at home or school) to complete their assignments and submit them over the internet. This assignments will be included as part of your total band grade. Special instrument microphones ($20) are also available and are highly recommended over the generic computer microphone.
