User Manual


Internet Access

In order to use OnMusic Education, 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.
