Project Notes

Project Goals: My central goal for this project was to create and interactive, fun, while also educational program for an introduction to piano playing. To be used in conjunction with a piano teacher, Piano Tutorial v 2.0 is supposed to serve as a game for a student to �refresh� their memory of where the notes fall on the keyboard and their respective symbols on the staff and note names. I also, then, wanted to create an aspect of the program in which a song would be played while the music appears on the staff and the keyboard lights up the respective notes. Instructions for Running: The project opens with a welcoming page in which there is a picture of a piano and the title of the program. The user should click on the Sprite �Begin� in order to start the tutorial. After the Sprite is clicked on, the musical staff and piano keyboard will appear. The user can then click on any note on the keyboard and watch as the note name appears along with the note on the staff showing the user its notation. Once the user has finished, they can click on the �Play a Song� button in which they will have the option of playing �Mary had a Little Lamb�. The user can watch the keyboard and the music while they listen to the song play. After the song if finished, the user can try to play it or go back and fool around some more with the keyboard.
