Instructions for Installing MusicGoals by Eye and Ear 1.6
Please Note: If you are upgrading, be sure to backup student files before saving with version 1.6. The file format of version 1.6 cannot be opened by earlier versions.

  1. After downloading, run the downloaded program, MGtrial16.exe for MusicGoals by Eye and Ear 1.6 or MGRHy102.exe for MusicGoals Rhythm. This will extract the setup files into C:\MGtrial16 or C:\MGRhy102 by default. Or you may choose another directory before the files are extracted.
  2. Next, run the setup file from within this directory to install MusicGoals. (You may uninstall later from the windows control panel - Add/Remove Programs. Also remember to delete the setup directory above.)
  3. Start MusicGoals by clicking the MusicGoals desktop icon or use "Start - Programs - MusicGoals".
  4. Select "New Student" to create a new student file.
  5. Press F1 to open Help and read "Getting Started" for a quick overview.
  6. Click "Next Goal" to start the sequence of activities. Learn material by experimenting before starting the drill (try out buttons, click on staff and instrument).
  7. Adjust the tempo slider before each drill begins. The program will advance through a sequence of activities (objectives) as the drill levels are mastered in "Goal" mode. It will also keep track your work on the "Scores" and the "Progress" pages.
  8. You may explore "Practice Settings" to see all the drill levels and to get an idea of the many features. The mode button cycles between "Goal" - gold, "Practice" - green, and "Custom" - blue.
  9. Click "GO TO" on the top menu bar to explore "Scores", "Progress", "Routines", and other features or to jump to another activity.
