Here is a nice little site, with an intro to 12 tone row
music.

It has a nice little applet/flash thingy, to teach you how
to setup a 12 tone matrix.

I only know the basics of 12 tone row writing... as Ive only
been teaching (ie reading up on it) myself.

Just thought Id share for those who are also interested! :)

"As a natural consequence of the increasing chromaticism of
the time, the previous system of "functional tonality" which
gave music much of its sense of order began to lose its
effectiveness. A diatonic set of seven pitches which defined
a key became so diluted by chromaticism that tonality lost
its meaning. A mathematical system for achieving a sense of
order was needed; complete equality of all twelve chromatic
pitches and the emancipation of dissonance were also
important objectives of the new system."

well thats me sorted, if only i'd have known before
