<b>Warning</b>:  date() [<a href='function.date'>function.date</a>]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

		<description><![CDATA[I think this program has the capability of being an excellent teaching tool to introduce composition to young and even very young students.  I do have a couple of concerns, however.  One concern is that most of the "instrument" sounds do not match the instrument.  As a music educator, I find it vitally important that especially my young children be acquainted with good tones and sounds and voices.  This helps make them better musicians and singers.  I realize that truer instrument samples would more expensive making the $12 price less lucrative.  I can't justify that trade, though, in my classroom.<br><br>Another concern is the motif that is assigned to each "instrument."  If a young child just puts them together randomly, the end result is just a mess of sound.  Although I didn't get to play around with the program a great deal, I found very few non-percussion instruments that could be used together and still produce a pleasant, musical sound.  Perhaps the instruments need to be placed in groups that when played together the sound is musical, at the least.<br><br>Again, I think this program has excellent potential.  For me as an educator who strongly promotes good sounds, I can not justify its use in the classroom.]]></description>
