Musica Touch 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). Each of the 45 activities is sold individually so you need buy only the parts that interest you. Free (non-saving) versions of several of the writing tools are included, plus a free beginning exercise in rhythm tapping (Easy Rhythms) and a simple exercise in pitch reading (Single Pitches). The free Songbook Sampler shows you a few of the singalong tunes found in the Songbook activity (great for kids). In the purchased activities music can be exported as a printable pdf, or as a MIDI file, or shared with a friend for hearing/viewing in Musica Touch.
Now with MIDI in/out capability for those would like to connect an external keyboard, Musica Touch can be used with iPads running iOS6, but we recommend iOS7 or later.

What's New in Musica Touch
2.0.1
January 7, 2016
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Fixes MIDI compatibility with earlier iOS like 7 and 6, fixes support link for latest systems.
I can’t get this app to work. I bought the counterpoint module, but I can’t input any notes. The instructions say “select the note/rest you want, then place it on the stave” but how do I do that? Select it from where? There is only an icon with a quarter note and rest at the bottom of the page, and touching that and then touching the stave has no effect. I’ve looked for a YouTube video of some demonstrating the note I put on an iPad but I can’t find anything.
