The Tool Kit for Music Analysis will have as its main features the presentation and evaluation of many different ways of looking at and listening to music.  It aims to clarify the diversity of approaches to and objectives of music analysis, and recommends strategies for choosing the most appropriate tools for the intended purpose. It will be presented in CD-Rom format, permitting a multi-dimensional presentation of numerous examples, especially those which exemplify the less familiar forms of analysis. These will be complemented by an extensive annotated bibliography and resource directory, pointing the investigator to relevant books, articles, scores, recordings, webpages, journals, and organizations for further clarification and support.  As an essential part of the work was originally developed for use in auditive analysis, the Tool Kit can also serve as a guide to the listener.  A preliminary version is being developed as A Template for a Tool Kit.
