Classroom Maestro
Hardware and Software Requirements

Before getting technical, here are the essential specifications in plain English:

Classroom Maestro is currently available for Macintosh OS X 10.3 or later (i.e. Panther, Tiger, and Leopard) and Windows Vista and XP.

Although you can run the program without connecting a MIDI keyboard to your computer, you will probably obtain the most convenient use from the program when you use it with a MIDI keyboard.
