Practica Musica is a complete music theory and ear training application with scores of interactive learning activities and an included digital textbook with live music examples: Exploring Theory With Practica Musica (Evans). Can be used either on your own or as part of a course if you're a student. Practica Musica features a wide range of difficulty - from beginning exercises like "Up or Down" and "Leaps and Steps" all the way to the sort of exercises appropriate to a college course in Music Fundamentals - Melodic/Rhythmic dictation, Roman Numeral Analysis, and more. Graduated exercises in Pitch Reading and Rhythm Reading will help you learn to read music from a standing start and at your own speed, and activities like Rhythm Band, Rhythm Practice, and Songbook offer fun combined with learning. Practice exams provide endlessly varied material when you want to test your knowledge (and if you're in a class, an instructor can turn those into real exams). Practica Musica even includes notation tools for writing your own music (visit www.ars-nova.com for more information). This Family/Studio edition allows multiple users to track their progress on the same computer, earning gold stars as they go.
