The program is a lot of fun to use, and in writing it, the author actually learned a lot of useful information in the process, even though he had over 30 years experience teaching medical students and physics students about sound and hearing, and had composed several symphonies himself.The program makes extensive use of several standard computer software plugins (ActiveX controls), including a Web Browser, QuickTime, and YouTube control. The latter provides the ability to interact with a selection of interesting, informative, and well-authored YouTube presentations on the Internet in real time. A number of Internet links are provided with each lesson to steer the student to related in-depth information. The program also has a Glossary, which defines and / or explains terms used that may be new or unfamiliar to the student. All in all, the program provides students with a unique and fun leaning experience.
