__** Introduction **__

Recently, e-learning communities has been one of the most common topic of discussion to all schools. It even arrived at our own school just a few months before and this is the reason why we are designing this model of an e-learning community about music based around the social networking tool NING.

====This wiki was made with the vision of allowing people in different ages to access freely the world of music. The Music Paramour is a learning community which can be enjoyed by everybody with the same interest in life, which is music. ====

__**Key Features**__

The following are the main features of Music Paramour :
☺ Chat box : To use chat box,participants must be online at the same time to participate in the 'conversation'. You will be able to 'chat' via text messages to the other members of your group in real-time.

__**Educational Rationale**__


 * Music Paramour **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> as a networking site which gives learner an appropriate knowledge and experience through music follows the style of community of __"Vygotsky's social development theory"__ which defines the learners intellectual development and social development through the learners community and culture.Music Paramour is an community learning site which helps the learner learn through this site with the help of our community with any culture, for music are and can be expressed anywhere.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This is an introduction to some of the basic concepts of [|Lev Vygotskyean theory] (culturally-mediated identity) by Trish Nicholl.As “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” This learning that takes place is not necessarily intentional. Three components are required in order to be a CoP:the domain, the community, and the practice.This reflects to [|Communities of Practice (Lave and Wenger).]Communities develop their practice through a variety of methods, including: problem solving, requests for information, seeking the experiences of others, reusing assets, coordination and synergy, discussing developments, visiting other members, mapping knowledge and identifying gaps.
