MakeMusic, Inc. (Nasdaq: MMUS) today announced monthly subscription results for SmartMusic^®, the music learning software for band, orchestra and choir. SmartMusic subscriptions as of July month-end numbered 93,616, representing a net loss of 2,016 from the previous month. Additionally, at the end of July, 135 schools or districts had joined SmartMusic’s site subscription program, compared to 97 at the end of June.

SmartMusic Impact^™, the web-based student grading and records management system included with SmartMusic, showed one Impact teacher (having issued assignments to 50 or more students). This number is an annual statistic that restarts on July 1 of each year reflecting the start of the school-year cycle.

Finally, the number of SmartMusic Educator accounts was 8,933, compared to 8,165 at the end of June, an increase of 768 accounts. The majority of this increase is due to the reclassification of partnership subscriptions that occurred through the simplification of pricing and reporting structures completed on July 28, 2008.

“Our July subscription and Impact results reflect the cyclical nature of the annual school schedule and are in line with our expectations,” stated Ron Raup, MakeMusic’s co-CEO. “As the 2007-08 school year closed, some student subscriptions lapsed and many of these may not be renewed until the fall back-to-school season.”
