Smartmusic.com
Smartmusic is a site where you can pull up the music we are playing in orchestra class and play along with recording of the piece. The site can pull up your specific part and can play a recording of the music as it highlights note by note along with the recording. You can change the recording to go at a tempo you find comfortable and when you are ready, there's an option to audio record yourself playing them music and it will assess how well you played. This assessment isn't always 100% correct but it's a good way for you to see what parts you tend to make mistakes on and how to fix them. As I explore this site myself a bit more, I'll make a separate page for it and give you all tips on how to use it but for now, play around with it and see if you can find new music you like!
