​Hello Band Family!

Here is another resource for you to use. It is called Smart Music. Smart Music has a library of music that you can play-along with. It is a lot of fun! And during the closure, the Smart Music company has allowed FULL ACCESS to ALL OF THE MUSIC! Our class name is SRMS WildCats 

In order to use the software, you need to create a SmartMusic account and join the class using this code: UFACA-EZHEH.

1. Open a Chrome browser and visit: https://admin.smartmusic.com/join
2. When prompted for a class code, please enter:
UFACA-EZHEH

When asked for your email address please provide a back-up email address (personal email) in case you don't receive the email through the school email account. 

Please let me know if you run into any issues and please contact me with any questions or concerns. Happy Music Making! I miss you all and I hope we see each other again soon!

Be safe!

Mr. Prado
