= I: Get to Know "The Tool" (8 min) =
 * Things you can do with SmartMusic**
 * Click on any note to see the note name and fingering!
 * Listen to your part (played by a piano sound)
 * Play with accompaniment. Adjust speed to go faster or slower. In some cases, adjust key.
 * Record yourself alone, with the computer playing your part, with the computer playing an accompaniment, or with the computer playing both.
 * Have the computer assess you - green notes are correct pitch or rhythm, red notes are incorrect.
 * Begin playing at measure 1 or at any measure you choose. Set a practice loop to practice small chunks over and over.
 * Use the tuner to see if you are playing the correct note.
 * Practice with a metronome.
 * Search for music (Find Music) - solos, exercises, method books, jazz improvisation, sight-reading, Band/Jazz/Orchestra pieces
 * Import any MP3 recording and play-along with it (change key or speed, too!).
