Abstract
The reproduction and evolution of knowledge happens most effectively within communities of practice, structured groups that give learners a sense of membership, or at least aspiration to membership. The group should include expert practitioners to whom learners have access, and the community should create space for legitimate participation by the least expert, most peripheral members. Members of a community of practice need not be in close physical proximity, as long as they can communicate. The internet supports communities of practice by linking experts with learners, supporting platforms for storing and disseminating resources and tools, and enabling discussion. The Disquiet Junto is an exemplary online community of practice where members can complete a compositional challenge every week. Junto projects frequently have members remixing one another’s music, and sometimes remixing each other’s remixes. It turns the sometimes lonely art of composition into a lively ongoing musical conversation spanning the entire world. Furthermore, the organizer asks participants to document their technical and creative processes, which makes the Junto an invaluable peer-to-peer learning resource.
