Due to great response from the education community, Songsmith is now available to institutions that subscribe to MSDNAA (Microsoft Development Network Academic Alliance). This includes many university departments and high schools... check with your program to see if you're a subscriber!
We hope Songsmith becomes a useful resource for teachers who are introducing their students to music theory, chords, and songwriting. Songsmith can be a great starting point for all of these things, and we hope students have fun, get engaged, and go on to create great music, with and without Songsmith!
