Songsmith is a great resource for the musically challenged to the accomplished songwriter!  It creates the musical accompaniment to singer’s voice or to instruments played into a computer’s microphone.  Not only that, but the arrangement can be changed by selecting one of thirty musical styles, from Rock to Hip-Hop to Country to Jazz.

For those not musically trained, choose a musical style, sing into your PC’s microphone, and Songsmith will create backing music for you.  

Accomplished songwriters and musicians can use Songsmith to work with new melodies, quickly turning initial recordings into richer, deeper renditions. The creations can be shared with your friends and family, post your songs online, or create your own music videos.

Instructor :   Roberta Wiebe is a creative music teacher from Angus McKay School.  She has been doing SongSmith workshops for a year, including demonstrations for Microsoft personnel.
