A virtual community environment for Brazilian popular music

This paper presents a virtual environment which enables people interested in acquiring and sharing knowledge about Brazilian popular music to congregate in communities. The environment includes a music virtual library and a cooperative learning system based on the harmony trees theory, an innovative harmonic teaching method which has been used successfully by its author for several years.
