Allegro Training is a new company that has taken over the training
courses formerly offered by The Music Information Consultancy. Though
our initial courses this year will concentrate on the music courses
developed by MIC over the past 4 years, we shall be expanding into
more general library areas with our Autumn courses.
The Music Information Consultancy will continue as a separate company
offering research and data services.
There are still places available on our music
internet (advanced) - Music of the Spherest - to be
held in London on 4 April
