The two most important things that musicians do involve sound and graphics-listening to music and studying scores The Internet affords a powerful tool for both. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how the WWW can function as a delivery system for new score study paradigms integrating sound, illustration of structure, highlighting of motives, and stimulating curiosity. Sophisticated technologies facilitate the teaching of more complex concepts without the customary verbal explanations. Sound animations of contrapuntal and melodic inversions, forms, repositioning of voices, creation of textures, motivic saturation, etc., illustrate procedures, in seconds, that ordinarily require class periods. These technologically mediated pedagogies are changing not merely the way we present information but, more importantly, the way we think about it. This will lead to the creation of new theories and expansion of content. Students will be able to cover more material in less time and with less talk.
    The challenge of teaching on the Internet will be to communicate complex information without discursive interaction between students and instructors. Technology can compensate for this by means of high-quality sounds and graphics which, in music, have the potential to communicate more effectively than words. While the immediate context for this presentation is teaching on the Internet, the basic principles hold true for teaching in the classroom as well.
