Music education moves online.

Today's post comes from eSchool News. "Thanks to advancements in so-called Web 2.0 technologies, music education is extending beyond the classroom with the help of software that allows for virtual, real-time music lessons and collaboration online. These technologies can supplement and reinforce the traditional teaching that occurs during private music lessons or school classes, their proponents say.

Software from new companies such as eJamming, WorkshopLive, and In the Chair can connect students and teachers in online groups or in solo sessions to record and edit music online. The growing number of homes with access to broadband internet service has helped fuel this emerging trend." Click here to read the rest of this story.

Hi,

It is true that US is the largest market for music education software? Also looks like Australia is another market. Any inputs, please? I am trying to understand this market. With the huge number of players around in the Web, it's really diffcult to know which products lead the pack.

Thanks,
Puja
