[Trombone-l] Smart Music

[Wayne Dyess]

In defense of SmartMusic and the good folks at MakeMusic, they are  
adding to their list of solo's, beginning method books, and jazz  
improvisation materials all the time.

I'd at least stay tuned...

It is a wonderful program that should at least be reviewed and  
considered.
