We're pleased to announce another new and exclusive benefit for members of the International Association for Jazz Education.

IAJE members will be able to purchase a special SmartMusic® annual subscription designed specifically for jazz educators and their students for $35. This is over 50% off the regular annual subscription fee. Also, certain jazz titles will be available exclusively through this IAJE subscription.

SmartMusic, the complete music practice system, is uniquely suited to help students learn to improvise. They can:

• Practice exercises on the blues scale, ii-V7-I and iii-vi-ii-V7-I chord progressions.
• Practice Play by Ear exercises that assess and grade what they did right and wrong.
• Practice tunes with a variety of improvisation patterns notated onscreen.
• See transcriptions of what expert piano, bass and drum musicians play while comping behind soloists.
• Record themselves with accompaniment to hear how they sound and then make adjustments and corrections on their own.
• Study tunes by Pulitzer Prize winning composer Wynton Marsalis and other jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, etc.
• Practice with accompaniments recorded by Wynton Marsalis’ rhythm section.

IAJE members will be eligible to receive the complete SmartMusic subscription to over 30,000 titles in a variety of genres plus certain jazz titles exclusive to IAJE by Ellington, Monk, Gershwin, Brubeck, and others. Members will also be able to obtain the special subscription and reduced price for their students.
