On Macs the built-in sound is all you need even for rhythm tapping, though you can connect an external device if you want to. 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. Practica Musica 6 is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Mac OS 10.4 or later (Intel or PPC). Compatibility with the latest systems.There's also an "enharmonic" (split keys) fat keyboard and even a new lefthanded fretboard. Now you have the option of using a shorter keyboard with extra wide keys that are easy to see and play. Most activities don't require a full keyboard. 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. The included textbook helps you to progress on your own. 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. It can even perform sophisticated tasks for an advanced student: pointing out errors when writing a chorale in 4 parts, for example.
