[Product Information]

Interactive. OK， it was always interactive. This is what the computer is good for! Do you want to learn to hear the difference between different chords? Practica Musica will tell you when you're on the right track. Want to learn how to write melody by ear? Practica Musica can invent endless examples for you to practice with， and tell you when you get them right. It can even perform sophisticated tasks for an advanced student: pointing out errors when writing a chorale in 4 parts， for example.
Includes notation tools. The "composition" activity provides basic notation tools that are perfect for doing a school assignment: write a melody， a chorale， a duet - and you can hear it， print it， save it， even export it as a MIDI file.
For home or school. The included textbook helps you to progress on your own. If you're using Practica Musica in a school environment your class will have access to our online WebStudents system for storing progress reports or music assignments and communicating with your instructor.
New 'Fat Keys' keyboard option. Most activities don't require a full keyboard. Now you have the option of using a shorter keyboard with extra wide keys that are easy to see and play. There's also an "enharmonic" (split keys) fat keyboard and even a new lefthanded fretboard.
Compatibility with the latest systems. Practica Musica 6 is compatible with Windows XP， Vista， Windows 7 and Windows 8; Mac OS 10.4 or later (Intel or PPC). For Windows computers we recommend connecting an external "MIDI" sound device if you're interested in doing real-time rhythm tapping activities; for activities that don't involve playing notes in time the built-in sound is enough. On Macs the built-in sound is all you need even for rhythm tapping， though you can connect an external device if
