Music Web Authoring Guide - A Guide for Users of MusicWeb Applications

These are the first few pages of the Music Web Handbook published in 2001 after 5 years of European wide development by the European Commision funded MusicWeb Consortium. The project had the objective to develop an infrastructure and applications for computer-aided music education. Keywords are: new pedagogical paradigms, musically relevant material, modular course design, reusable resources and tools, wide area networks, distributed technical infrastructure, object database with web gateway. Partners were Glasgow University, Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Ircam in Paris, and the Musikhochschule in Hannover. The system and its educational packages are still in use in various European institutions, but at the time represetned the first substantive effort in making music education on web substanitally interactive.
