What Others Are Saying About MakeMusic
“The students really like the interactive side of being able to check fingerings and to double check that they are playing everything correctly. It really helped save time for me, especially since most weeks the students had 2 to 3 assignments.”
“MakeMusic Cloud is a fantastic time-saving tool for music teachers. Because it allows independent student learning of techniques and musical works and provides them with constructive feedback, it lets teachers get on with using group ensemble time for truly effective rehearsals. The customisable assessment options also allow teachers to streamline their grading process and increase productivity.”
“(MakeMusic Cloud) has enabled my students to engage in their own individual practice sessions in a more meaningful way! They are given a wealth of feedback and have a tremendous amount of resources just at the click of a button.”
“MakeMusic Cloud has been an essential tool for motivating and guiding at-home practice for my private students, school students, and even my own kids. With count-offs and practice loop capabilities, MakeMusic Cloud helps them focus in on the sections they need to work on while developing their practice-time discipline.”
MakeMusic Cloud vs. SmartMusic
MakeMusic Cloud is the new name for SmartMusic—and a major evolution of the platform. It keeps the strengths of SmartMusic while adding a modern, user-friendly interface, broader device compatibility (including Chromebooks and iPads), and enhanced cloud features that support remote learning, classroom integration, and individual practice.
- Improved accessibility: Works across all major devices and browsers—no special installs.
- Enhanced content library: Growing catalog of ensemble and solo literature, method books, and exercises.
- Streamlined classroom tools: Faster assignment creation, grading, and progress tracking.
- Modern user experience: Faster load times, intuitive navigation, and better LMS integrations.
In short, MakeMusic Cloud is the next-generation platform for today’s music educators and students—greater flexibility, usability, and support for hybrid or fully digital classrooms.
Enhancing traditional music education
MakeMusic Cloud is designed to complement traditional music education by seamlessly integrating technology that supports both educators and students in achieving deeper musical understanding and performance readiness.
MakeMusic Cloud puts a vast library of interactive sheet music right at your fingertips. That alone can save you countless hours (and dollars) purchasing, organizing, copying, and distributing physical sheet music. Additionally, with a full suite of digital tools, teachers can personalize instruction, track progress effortlessly, and engage students in meaningful practice both in and out of the classroom.
Whether reinforcing ensemble skills or supporting individual growth, MakeMusic Cloud complements proven teaching methods with innovative tools that elevate the learning experience without replacing the human element at the heart of music education.
