2026 NHMEA Spring Conference

SmartMusic by MakeMusic presents at the 2026 NHMEA Spring Conference, showcasing its industry-leading music education technology platform. MakeMusic Cloud (formerly SmartMusic) is the premier browser-based music education platform that connects teachers and students from the cloud to the classroom, providing tools for focused practice, assessment, and immediate performance feedback. The platform features Intelligent Accompaniment technology that listens to musicians play or sing through a microphone and follows their spontaneous tempo changes, creating a responsive practice experience. Teachers can assign pieces from an extensive music catalogue, track student progress, and provide targeted feedback, while students benefit from algorithmic assessment of pitch, rhythm, and duration along with built-in tools including a metronome, tuner, and fingering guides. With access to Compose, Sight Reading Studio, and the full music catalogue included in subscriptions, MakeMusic Cloud offers a comprehensive suite for music education. This conference session is an opportunity for New Hampshire music educators to explore how SmartMusic can enhance practice habits, streamline assessment, and personalise instruction across instrumental and vocal programs.
