MusicWeb aims to support the higher music education, by offering specific training materials, exploiting multimedia and distributed network technology. The potential of this, also for distance learning, has already been demonstrated in previous projects on national levels at the partner institutions. MusicWeb intends to offer a well-structured learning environment with a strong emphasis on musical relevance. The modular design and reusability of tools and materials should appeal to music professionals, teachers and students regardless of their technological background.
