Arduino Melody

Working from the OSEPP 201 Kit Series Arduino Basics, this tutorial uses two-dimensional arrays to store the notes in the melody and their duration, then uses the Tone function to play it.

Background on the Tune

The tune is Shave and a Haircut, which is popular in the US and has a long history often associated with comedy. My apologies to any Mexican readers who may find the tune offensive, that is not my intent.
