GUIDO Music Learning System 2.1
First Released in 1986 by the University of Delaware, GUIDO (Graded Units for Interactive Dictation Operations) was self-paced Ear Training instructional software designed by and for use at the University of Delaware. It was originally programmed on a Burroughs 6700 and later ported to the PLATO system, before it was redesigned for use on the IBM-PC/XT/AT.
Each student was provided with a copy that was supplied with a student key disk, which would not only store lesson progress, but launch the program as well. Upon the first launch of the program, the student's information and subsequent process was stored to the disk.
