"To read about SmartMusic is one thing," stated Ron Raup, MakeMusic's co-CEO. "To see it in action and to hear the enthusiasm of the educators and students using it, is something entirely different. These videos bridge the gap between the printed brochure and witnessing a live SmartMusic demonstration and will be immediately incorporated into all sales and marketing initiatives. We believe that these videos will help further encourage teachers already using SmartMusic to fully integrate SmartMusic into their curriculum and will provide the final impetus for many prospective SmartMusic customers to take the next step and make that initial purchase."
