This musical e-book develops a process of collaborative listening to not only achieve Leonard Ratner's goals of classical music appreciation - but use hybrid techniques of learning. These techniques include comparative reading of chapter content and linking web media (wiki, video, references) thru the user's annotations of chapters. This e-book platform uses wireless networks for classroom settings (student to student and teacher to students), file sharing of music recordings to peers, and sharing of music education related media. Implementing collaborative listening allows users to start understanding the technical aspects of music by listening to music, researching historical references, playing the music, sharing those recordings, and allowing critical feedback from the network.
