About the Music Tutor....

The Music Tutor is a windows program designed to present important 
fundamentals of music theory.  Learning the lines and spaces of the
grand staff, the sharp key signatures, the flat key signatures and an 
overview of minor scales are presented in four lessons in the Pitch and
Key Signatures Edition.  An overview of the rhythmic value of notes and
the time signatures is presented in two lessons in the Notes and Time
Edition of the Music Tutor.  Each lesson has instructions and periodic
questions about the ideas being discussed.  

Each lesson is accompanied by a practice session.  These 'practice 
sessions' may be used at any time like computer flash cards.  If you are
a beginning music student, you may find the practice sessions useful in
reviewing for your lessons.  They should also be helpful in memorizing 
basics needed by all musicians such as recognizing key signatures.

Who is the Music Tutor for....

The Music Tutor is suited for adults or children with the assistance of
an adult who are in the early phases of musical training.  The Music Tutor 
may be used by anyone wishing to review their musical skills, however,
allowing for differences in pace, anyone in the first year of lessons would 
probably benefit from the material presented.  

The unregistered version of the Music Tutor offers the introduction and
the first lesson and practice session of the Pitches and Key Signatures
edition without charge.  You may freely distribute the unregistered version.
 
If you wish to register the Music Tutor to receive both the Pitches and Key
Signatures and Notes and Time editions, instructions and a registration
form are provided under the Help Menu.  

Technical Notes...

The Music Tutor should be run in VGA mode.  Modes above 640 by 480 may make
image controls on the screen used for drag and drop operations inaccurate.
Windows 95 does prevent this problem on the machines that I have
tested the program on, but please be aware of the potential for
the inaccuracies at higher resolutions for the first lesson.  

You must have the Visual Basic runtime DLL - VBRUN300.DLL on
your machine to run the Music Tutor.  It has not been included in this
zip file because it is genrally available on any bulletin board or
on-line service. THREED.VBX has been included in the zip file.  
Place VBRUN300.DLL and THREED.VBX in your windows/system directory.  

Copy all the other files into a subdirectory that you create - for
example: C:\MTUTOR.

You may simply run the mtutor.exe or create
a program item in program manager for the Music Tutor.  

The files needed to run the unregistered version of the application are:

	mtutor.exe
	intro.dat
	les1.dat
	prac1.dat
	mtutor1.hlp
	threed.vbx
	vbrun300.dll

Thanks for your interest in the Music Tutor!
