Abstract: A system and method for creating, revising, archiving and providing a music lesson over a communications network comprises a teacher station controlled by a teacher, one or more student stations each controlled by a student and an administrative station connected to the teacher and student stations that facilitates the transfer of a lesson file over a communications network. The teacher station comprises a computer and a lesson creator/reviser program executable by the computer that can generate a lesson file representing the audio and visual content of a music lesson. The lesson creator/reviser program comprises various modules that receive the audio and/or visual lesson content and correspondingly generate sub-files that form the lesson file.
