#PRACTICA MUSICA REVIEW SOFTWARE#

Practica Musica may be the most comprehensive software currently available, at least for academic, i.e., institutional, purposes, Ars Nova is well aware of the need to track individual student progress, and has come up with a variety of flexible solutions. If the latest crop of ear training software is any indicator, it is conceivable that human interaction, except for guidance and supervision, may eventually become superfluous, at least for everything but the most advanced applications. The result is a significant reduction in the absolute need for human interaction. As criteria of flexibility and interaction are refined, students are increasingly able to perform for themselves exercises that can be tailored to address specific handicaps, and to receive accurate and detailed feedback on their personal progress. With the aid of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in ear training, academic programs are no longer bound by limitations in human resources.

This fact is not surprising, considering the neuro-muscular nature of the skill any muscle needs regular exercise, of gradually increasing difficulty, in order to improve.

In addition, it has been proven that the efficacy of any single program relates directly to the consistency and frequency of training sessions. Serious and effective training in aural skills is best achieved through interaction in a workshop setting, the traditional milieu being one in which some outside person performs exercises and examples that test students' aural recognition.
