A system for documenting the music learning process of a music student to encourage more students to study long enough to become proficient in their musical form through involvement with an immersive interactive tool. A server computer is programmed to facilitate communication between the music student and other individuals. A music student computer is connected to the server computer. The music student computer is for transmitting and receiving music information related to the learning process of the music student. Likewise, a third party computer is connected to the server computer. The third party computer allows a pre-approved third party to transmit and receive music information related to the learning process of the music student An administrator computer is also connected to the server computer. The administrator computer permits an administrator to coordinate communication between the music student and the third party. In a preferred embodiment the third party computer includes friend and family member computers connected to the server computer. These friend and family member computers are for transmitting and receiving music information related to the learning process of the music student. Preferably, the music information related to the learning process of the music student includes photos, audio files and video files.
