Much of the content posted initially to this wiki was ported over from the former Home Practice Online website. HPO was created in 1998 as a resource for young instrumentalists and their directors. HPO was used by many band directors, and was featured in numerous music education articles, texts, and at conferences and university music education technology classes, all over the United States. With the advent of Web 2.0, and its ease-of-use, perhaps this wiki can expand the scope, content, and usefulness of HPO.
