INTRODUCTION This non-profit homepage"MusicAnd" is a personal initiative to create an international forum for music educational innovation.
Professionally, I'm a teacher training college teacher for music education and for other subjects on secondary school level (Louvain, Belgium). I'm specialized in general and music pedagogy, and in media.
In the eighties, I was an editor-in-chief of a Flemish magazine for alternative music and information; recently I developped a new music and art site (>P-ARTWEB) with collaboration of related artists from all over the world. I have made publications about innovative music education, and I organized and supported colloquiums and special meetings about music educational innovation. Searching for meaningful and up-to-date activities for sound, music and new media in the classroom, I realized alternative workshops for music educators in the eighties and nineties.
In the 1980s, I released my album, and produced music for a play. I developped new projects, music and dance performances and installations. In the 1990s, I published my soundsets for a digital wave synthesizer. In 1998, I brought my personalized non-profit web site about my own holistic artistic world on the net: paintings, poetry, improvising, intuitive composing, sound objects, sampling, piano, synthesizer, ethnic instruments, MIDI control and computertools to make music and visual arts. (http://users.skynet.be/P-ART).
I am 50 now, and I'm evolving to a stage of integration: I want to share with the world my more than 25 years of knowledge, research, experience and affiliation to the innovative world of music education in a NON-PROFIT web site.
"MusicAnd / Mplus/ M+" tells you about attractive, alternative, unknown, undiscovered articles and ideas related to the holistic music educational world. The actual release of
Of course, the "M+" content isn't the result of an objective approach. Further, I don't pretend to complete research and information about all remarkable official and international initiatives.
I'm very sensitive to basic activities. "MusicAnd" is expanding constantly as a personal engagement for your music educational challenges.
A very important aspect of "MusicAnd" considers the participation of researchers, experts and music educators of all sorts. I will continue to invite GUESTS to deliver special contributions to

To exceed the language barrier in this international web site for music educational innovation, I prefer to use English as mean of communication. However, most of us do not have English as their native. For that reason I hope that you appreciate my efforts, and also that the written language and the linguistic errors will not disturb you to much. I try to present you with the

Last but not least, I apologize if you are irritated by the visual pollution of the MULTIMANIA advertising corner appearing above each MusicAnd-page. It is the prize I have to pay for an unlimited web site FOR FREE.
