Live-Music Education Academy

Independent Communities for Music Collaboration

Open Workshop

The idea of "Sympraxis"

If Music is an act of performance in which many musicians collaborate together in order to create it ("sympraxis"), then internet can be conceived as a live virtual stage in which many remote participants produce a live concert using multiple-site videoconference as a tool. It is a music (cultural) event created by students assisted by their teachers. All places collaborate together from a distance so as to produce a web-concert as a final event ("dromenon").

The scope: communities creating music performance

Distace learning Music Agoge aims to relate Music as a Performance Act ("Praxis") with multiple-site teleconference tools in order to establish Music performance as an active procedure using ICT merely as a tool next to the physical way of producing sound and not as a final task. Working in parallel to this approach, the project aims to enhance special music tuition from a distance to places where music education is scarce or impossible. Workshop is addressed to teachers with prior experience in multiple-site videoconferences who are interested in hosting cultural events prepared by remote educational communities.
