This group is devoted to a discussion of topics related to music encoding, and is an extension of the Music Encoding Initiative channels on MEI-L and website, https://music-encoding.org/.

The Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) is a community-driven effort to define a system for encoding musical documents in a machine-readable structure. MEI brings together specialists from various music research communities, including technologists, librarians, historians, and theorists in a common effort to define best practices for representing a broad range of musical documents and structures.

The official MEI mailing list, MEI-L, is used to inform the community about upcoming events, discuss possible improvements for MEI, evaluate encoding strategies and models, and get support from the full community. The list is open to anyone for subscription, and everyone is welcome to join MEI-L by subscribing to: https://lists.uni-paderborn.de/mailman/listinfo/mei-l.

MEI has a Slack channel that is used for discussion, questions, announcements, and collaboration, https://music-encoding.slack.com. Visit this page for additional details: https://music-encoding.org/community/community-contacts.html.

MEI is hosted by the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz.

      The MEI Board has approved the Digital Pedagogy Interest Group.

      The group welcomes any member of the MEI community interested to get involved by subscribing to the mailing list http://lists.uni-paderborn.de/mailman/listinfo/mei-pedagogy-ig or the MEI Slack channel (join the MEI Slack here).

      The aim of the Interest Group is to support educators who want to incorporate music encoding and related practices into educational and cultural heritage institutions within the frames established by their accrediting bodies and other governing agencies. We are interested in developing documentation with learning goals and outcomes appropriate for different levels and types of classes; identifying tools that enable such classes to support varying levels of digital literacy and computational competency generating modules with easy on ramps adaptable to many kinds of pedagogies, including assessment models; sharing expertise, particularly in pedagogical contexts; diversifying the repertoire used in instruction; and extending the digital community to include institutions and individuals who may otherwise lack support for making and teaching digital knowledge. The Group will meet regularly during the MEC and through electronic means to identify specific projects that will advance the goals noted above, both in the short and long term, according to the needs and capacities of our members. The group will keep an archive of discussions that anyone may review.

      Please contact the Administrative Co-Chairs with any questions: Joy H. Calico and Anna Kijas.
