A microphone is required for recording, Intelligent Accompaniment, tuning and assessment. While most microphones (including built-in mics) will work with SmartMusic, we recommend the SmartMusic microphone because it has undergone extensive testing to ensure the best results with the program. It also has a clip (instrumental) or headset (vocal) to place the mic in the optimal position. - For convenience, we accept all major credit cards.

RENEWING Students  If your subscription has not finished yet, but your teacher has asked you to start a new subscription, you will need to MOVE your old subscription off your computer before activating your new one.
