A Little Jingle Bells by LLE Clarinets

J Z — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:37:23 GMT

The 4th grade Luther Lee clarinet class used a new interactive software called SmartMusic. Some children were given a disk to bring home last week. This is a 3 month FREE subscription. When the 3 months end, you may pay to continue the subscription. Please go to Add/Remove in PC and Applications in Mac and delete if discontinuing. It is a large program and takes up a lot of hardrive space. The flute, clarinet and saxophone classes used this application during lesson time on Wednesday, November 21, 2007. You must have a microphone (internal or external) and speakers in order to use the interactive features. Please ask your child how they like the program. This is an A+ from me!
