The Music Tutor - version 1.0 by Candlelight Software.

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 make
image controls on the screen used for drag and drop operations inaccurate.

You must have the Visual Basic runtime DLL - VBRUN300.DLL on
your machine to run the Music Tutor.  It has not been included in the
zip file because it is readily available on many bulletin boards and 
by excluding it, your download time is reduced.  Place this DLL in
your windows/system directory.  You must also include threed.vbx in your
windows/system directory. It is included in the zip file.

You may simply run the mutor.exe or create
a program item in program manager for the Music Tutor.  Be sure
to unzip the Music Tutor files into one directory (i.e. c:\mtutor).  
The files needed to run the unregistered version of the application are:

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

Thanks for your interest in the Music Tutor!
