VEMUS stands for "Virtual European Music School" and is a project funded by the European Commission under the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme of the  Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).

The VEMUS project started on October 2005 aiming to design, develop and evaluate an open, highly interactive, and networked multilingual music tuition framework for popular instruments and a set of innovative pedagogically-motivated e-learning components addressing different learning settings. A key goal of VEMUS is to contribute to strengthening the integration of the IST European Research Area, through the active participation of partners from new and associate Member States. To this end, the VEMUS Consortium includes 8 organisations from 6 countries, 3 of which are new or associate member states.
