Abstract

The paper reports on the design of a prototype system to facilitate intertwining of on-line and off-line practices during collaborative networked music master classes. Our approach links with recent theoretical thinking inspired from the concept of communities of practice and aims to devise a system to provide a virtual 'place' for engaging in the practice the community is about. This implies a focus not only on community management (i.e., discovering, building, maintaining community) but also on constructing and reconstructing practice using a suitable interactive practice vocabulary. We demonstrate the challenges involved in building domain-specific, practice-oriented interactive vocabularies for collaborative music lessons and report on our recent experiences on the interplay between on-line and off-line practice.
