4.2 Project Resources
4.2.1 Hardware Resources
4.2.1.1 Macintosh computer with Snow Leopard is required to run Xcode, a tool for development.
4.2.1.2 An iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is required to run the application.
4.2.2 Software Resources
4.2.2.1 Xcode — a text editor for creating Apple projects.
4.2.2.2 iPod Touch Simulator for testing GUI code on a virtual machine.
4.2.2.3 Open Office for creating documentation.
4.3. Project Organization
These are the major functions of Mobile Musician:
4.3.1 Buttons that play notes: This is the primary function of the program and the completion of this also implies a fundamental understanding of Objective-C and Xcode and their use in iPod based applications. This also includes logic for calculating a note (since only one note will be stored).
4.3.2 Implementation of scales: This includes defining multiple scales and being able to arrange the buttons according to those scales.
4.3.3 User Defined scales: A menu function that allows users to create their own scales, then arrange the buttons accordingly. Users will select desired notes from a list.
4.3.4 Menu widgets: This includes functions to toggle sustain and note letters on buttons on and off, randomization of notes, and different instruments.
4.3.5 Record and playback: Recording and playing back of a 10 second phrase.

4.4.2 Task and Resource Table
Basically good job. Gantt chart could use a bit of work. Take a look sometime at some sample Gantt charts (google them for examples) and see how there is a bit more detail that is missing from yours. For example, on page two the column headings show for the weeks, but the row heading for each task are missing so it's difficult to tell which line is which.
Another thing to keep in mind is the listing of deliverables. This should show more than just what is due for the semester -- try to put in more details about artifacts you are delivering as well as what is due "for grade".
Overall, good job. 11% out of 11%.
I also tweaked your formatting a bit. Edit the page and take a look at the result for future reference. :)
