About Ars-Nova
Ars-Nova is based in Redmond, Washington, and has been a leader in the music education software industry since its first release in 1987, Practica Musica. The term "new art" means "new art." This is a Latin name taken from Philippe Dwitri's 14th century music monograph. Ars-Nova distinguishes his new technology from ancient art or old art. Practica Musica's name comes from a 16th-century work by Heinrich Fink. Fink's work is the first comprehensive music teaching work, meaning "music practice exercises." Practice is what you do, not theory. It is Practica Musica, Counterpointer, Songworks, and Musica Touch: the creator of software for music education and creation since 1987.
