Advances in video conferencing technology have made it possible to communicate with people all over the world. With the introduction of HD Video and better than CD quality audio, teaching and performing music over the Internet is now a reality. The purpose of the symposium is to identify and develop strategies to establish synchronous distance learning as a viable means of teaching music to anyone in the world.

The symposium will be a virtual conference with four primary sites--Manhattan School of Music (New York), Peabody Institute (Baltimore), Royal College of Music (London), and Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (Singapore)-- and up to twelve additional real-time interactive partner sites through a bridge provided by Internet2. The conference will be webcast in real-time. In addition, selected papers and multimedia presentations will be featured on the symposium website.

Thomas Hampson, renowned baritone and educator will present the keynote address.

We have openings for 15 interactive sites to connect to the conference through the Internet2 bridge. Interactive sites will be able to see each presentation and ask questions during the Q & A sessions. Requirements include a video conferencing system supporting H.323 transmission.
