ROBIN NIXON introduces a simple music tutor BACH to Basics is a simple tonic sol fah tutor in which the computer plays a tune and the pupil plays it back, aided by a graph of notes. Tunes are entered by pressing the number keys 1-8, 1 for doh, 2 for ray and so on. The program is designed such that a pupil can start off at a very simple level and, as he or she learns more, move up through intermediate to advanced levels. A running score is kept to give the pupil an idea of how well he or she is doing. Several options are available including 4 levels of difficulty, 3 different speeds and an option to turn screen output off — to make the pupil work by ear. If you wish to add to the music data you should place the new data from line 1400 onwards, using 1 for doh, 2 for ray and so on. Having done that you redimen-sion B(40,8) in line 230 so that the 40 is replaced by the total number of music data lines. Then replace the 39 in Z=RND*39+1 in line 270 with the total number of music data lines minus 1.
