+<p>This experiment will consist of 28 short melodies presented in two
+blocks. The first block contains 2 practice trials for you to
+familiarise yourself with the programme. After the practice block, you
+will be able to adjust the volume to a comfortable level and ask any
+questions you may have. The main part of the experiment will follow on
+from the pracice block.</p>
+
+<p>When each melody starts playing, a cross will appear in the centre
+of the screen. You should focus on this cross while listening to the
+melody.</p> 
+
+<p>Whilst listening to each melody, you will be prompted to judge how
+expected or unexpected you find a given note. Shortly before such
+notes, the cross will be replaced by a clock with a minute hand at 12
+O'Clock. The hand will count down in time with the music. The note
+whose onset coincides with the hand returning to 12 O'Clock is the one
+you should respond to. </p>
+
+<p>You should judge how expected or unexpected you find a given note
+in the preceding context of the melody using a scale of 1 (highly
+unexpected) to 7 (highly expected). Please try to use the full range
+of the scale.</p>
+
+<p>The music will continue to play, so try to respond as quickly as
+possible, however accuracy is more vital than speed. There is only one
+chance to make your decision, once selected it cannot be
+changed. Before making your judgement, try to keep the mouse pointer
+in the midrange of the scale (i.e., 4).</p>
+
+<p>After listening to each melody, you will be required to answer some
+short questions relating to the music before listening to the next
+piece.</p>
+
+<p>If you have any questions please ask now. Otherwise, press
+'Continue' to move directly to the practice block</p>
