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.
