Back in May, jlc@atux01.uucp recommended a package called Practica
Musica as a way of learning music theory on a Mac. In the fulness of
time I tried to email jlc to find out price/availability of this package,
but my mail bounced.
So can anyone give me this information? If it turns out to be expensive,
or hard to get, can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative? (must run on
a 1meg Mac+ !).

I just received a leaflet about Practica Musica 2.2 via the reader's info service of MacWorld. The price is $125. Company address: ARS NOVA Box 637 Kirkland, W.A. 98083-0637 call toll free in US: 800-445-4866 From the leaflet: Practica Musica is a musical training system in the style of 'games' or 'activities'. It includes learning musical notation, scales, intervals and chords, ear training for melody and rythm. Sound is derived from actual recordings. Includes 'library of 40 historical excerpts from Beethoven's Fifth to Merry Christmas'. It runs from Mac Plus to IIci. I haven't tried it, I just read the leaflet.
