Music Theory Instruction

Overview

This project will produce software tools and applications to support music teaching, learning, and research. Using these new tools, students will be able to experiment, try alternatives, and work collaboratively with colleagues who have access to the same resources. Faculty with modest computer skills will be able to create lessons efficiently and provide students with highly interactive learning experiences in music.
