Abstract

This chapter aims to explore new possibilities in musical, social, and cooperative learning offered by new technologies. The author worked on an electronic twinning project creating a virtual European orchestra (choral and instrumental). It was formed by pupils from 6 to 19 years in 5 countries: Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, and UK .The common goal was to create a spirit of community, both among young people than among teachers who do overcome the difficulties of communication and enhance commonality and specificity. Music was chosen as subject because of its valences in multidisciplinary and inclusive educational activities. Some of the pupils had special needs, and they were very involved in the project. At the same time, the Greek Music School’s pupils created a Braille Scores’ Library for their schoolfellows. Participants used the European eTwinning platform (part of the Lifelong Learning Program of the European Community) to communicate, exchange files, and publish some of the works.
