Musica Touch Complete is the same as the free Musica Touch except that all the 45 activities are pre-purchased and ready to use. It offers music education (ear training, music theory/note reading, counterpoint) and composition tools (play a tune on the screen piano and see it notated, write a lead sheet, prepare a chorale or quartet), let the app invent a musical idea). The Songbook activity has 36 traditional songs for singalong, including a number of kid favorites. Version 2 now includes MIDI in/out capability.
If youd like to try the free download with several sample activities, download Musica Touch - in that one you can buy activities individually or in sets. The price for the full set is the same in either case.
Both the music examples in exercises and music you create yourself can be shared with others as a printable pdf, or a music file readable by other copies of Musica Touch (even the free one), or as a MIDI file for playing on any desktop computer.
Music Touch can be used on iPads running iOS 6 or greater, and we recommend iOS 7 or later.

You can re-check your work repeatedly until the program tells you there are no more errors to report. Of course you can hear, save, or export your work.
