The Lesson Metaphor

The exchange of musical information at ActiveBass is based upon the sharing of lessons. A lesson has a certain theme (i.e. blues licks, double-stops, uses for a diminished scale, etc.). Each lesson has several pages which present examples of this concept. Thus, each lesson page can contain a musical example, and some accompanying text to describe the music. You create bass parts and arrangements using ActiveBass's Line Builder and Track Builder. Then, during lesson creation, you provide some general information about the lesson (such as a style, a skill level, and a description), and then use ActiveBass's Lesson Builder authoring tool to specify the music examples and related text. Any lessons that you decide to publish can be viewed by visitors as tablature and heard as MIDI music.
