CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
What Others Are Saying About MakeMusic
“The students really like the interactive side of being able to check fingerings and to double check that they are playing everything correctly. It really helped save time for me, especially since most weeks the students had 2 to 3 assignments.”
“MakeMusic Cloud is a fantastic time-saving tool for music teachers. Because it allows independent student learning of techniques and musical works and provides them with constructive feedback, it lets teachers get on with using group ensemble time for truly effective rehearsals. The customisable assessment options also allow teachers to streamline their grading process and increase productivity.”
“(MakeMusic Cloud) has enabled my students to engage in their own individual practice sessions in a more meaningful way! They are given a wealth of feedback and have a tremendous amount of resources just at the click of a button.”
“MakeMusic Cloud has been an essential tool for motivating and guiding at-home practice for my private students, school students, and even my own kids. With count-offs and practice loop capabilities, MakeMusic Cloud helps them focus in on the sections they need to work on while developing their practice-time discipline.”
