And, whenever you're ready, we can implement the next level of integration by upgrading to a full-fledged EYS, with in-person visits, workshops, and concerts.
what separates us from the pack
Online learning should not have to mean endless hours staring passively at a screen.
The Electrify Your Symphony "Home Edition" provides you and your students with easy-to-digest tutorial videos that stimulate student interaction and inspire them to PLAY.
We supplement that with live Zoom time with Mark Wood and/or any of our Artist Mentors; who will first visit with your group as a whole and then spend time working with them in small ensembles for more individualized training.
And, finally, we will give your students performance skills that will make them stars of their own music video!

Collaborating on music projects in an online environment creates new opportunities for teaching and learning.
Small ensemble work allows the spotlight to shine equally on ALL of your students; increasing skills and the self-confidence that goes hand-in-hand.
HOW IT WORKS
OUR PLATFORM
This is the platform where we'll post music for your program, additional units of study, and more. Everything is organized in one central location, customized for your school, into easy-to-find folders for you and your students to explore.
SOUNDTRAP
An optional add-on to your EYS Home Edition program, Soundtrap is our online cross-platform music studio where we can collaborate with you and your students. And the best part? You don’t need any special gear because you and your students can record directly from your computer or device!
SMARTMUSIC
Optional add-on: SmartMusic is an online practice tool that will help you learn more about rhythm, sight reading, and other key music concepts. A metronome, tuner, and the ability to loop sections are built right into the app, plus you’ll get immediate feedback to help you correct your pitch.
Their huge repertoire library even includes a great selection of Mark Wood’s original music and arrangements. SmartMusic is a great tool for you to have year-round as you assign practice exercises and songs, and monitor individual student progress.
DISCORD
Optional add-on: Discord is a free voice and messaging service used around the world and it’s one of the great ways we’ll be able to socialize and hang out in our EYS world! You and your students will be able to connect in a safe online environment.
DISCORD is a free app that you can download to your phone, tablet, or computer.
Professional Development
We understand that everyone's needs will be different during this school year. Most districts will include requirements for you to incorporate online elements into your music program. We have many courses to choose from that will provide you with tons of ideas for lesson plans and give you substantial hours of Professional Development credit. All of our course materials are geared towards helping you to inspire, retain, and recruit students for your program.
