User Manual

This User Manual will help you set up and use OnMusic Appreciation. You may want to refer to the Quick Setup Guide before reading this User Manual.





INTERNET ACCESS

In order to use OnMusic Appreciation, you need access to the Internet and an e-mail account. Many schools and businesses provide Internet accounts to their students and employees. If you do not have an Internet account, check with your school or business to find out if you can get an account with them. If not, you can get an Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can find an ISP in the yellow pages of your telephone book listed under Internet services, or online at www.thelist.com. All of the exercises in OnMusic can be completed using a modem over an ordinary telephone line. However, if you have a high-speed connection (e.g. Cable, DSL or T1) pages will load more quickly.





CD-ROMS

The OnMusic Appreciation (2 CD-ROM) package contains the high-bandwidth course content (so you don’t have to wait for long downloads), documentation, and a unique serial number. Please make note of the 14 digit serial number, as it will be required to register OnMusic Appreciation.

The CD-ROM(s) contain a complete library of audio, graphics, and interactions that illustrate the web-based course content. To listen to a piece of music, simply click the link, and it will playback directly from the OnMusic Appreciation CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
