Introduction:
-------------
Fanfare is a comprehensive music theory program designed to help a musician master aural perception, rhythm, and theory
skills through a progression of a number of topics designed to help with all of the hard to learn areas of music theory.
Topics covered in Fanfare! include: tuning, clefs, key signatures, rhythms, notes, scales, intervals, triads, seventh chords,
chord doubling and cadences. 

Some of the powerful learning features in Fanfare! include: random generation so that drills do not repeat after frequent
use, integrated topics that include theory and aural perception in a single drill session, extensive customization
options, score windows, piano keyboard, help window tutorials which include theory instruction for each topic all in a
familiar Windows-based environment. 

One of the most exciting features of Fanfare! is the integration of theory and aural perception into unified topics combined
with extensive customization options. By integrating theory and aural perception, Fanfare! allows the user to quickly
switch between notating, listening, identifying, and playing notes, triads, chords, candencial chord progressions, and
rhythms. Each topic also includes option windows which give the user virtually total control over their practice session. 

Fanfare! is a powerful learning environment which allows the user to customize the practice time to their personal needs
and integrate their music theory, aural perception and keyboard knowledge, and repeat the drills until they have mastered
the topic. 

Whether you're a college student looking to master music theory or someone interested in learning more about music,
Fanfare! is the program for you.
