In 1984, a project exploring the feasibility of teaching string vibrato technique through a computer-driven interactive video PLATO-based system was undertaken at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This paper looks at the design of the system and at the scope and sequence of information that would be presented within the program. It also formulates the hypothesis that audio records within the program can be matched with real-time audio responses from the system user, thereby paving the way for remedial work within the program.
