"While the amount of national media attention SmartMusic has recently received has been extraordinary, the stories these educators tell are not unusual," stated Ron Raup, MakeMusic president and chief operating officer. "We regularly hear from music educators across the country and there are recurring themes in their responses to SmartMusic. Many report that by helping their students to play the correct rhythms and pitches, SmartMusic allows them to spend more time guiding students on higher order skills such as phrasing, breathing and musical interpretation."
