If you are just beginning with MIDI and Macintosh I would suggest that you
purchase a copy of 'The Book of MIDI" from Opcode Systems. This is package
consists of some printed information and an HyperCard stack which will teach
you how the MIDI works and how to connect MIDI keyboards and sound modules
to a Macintosh. It also contains complete MIDI specs (commands, etc.), a
glossary and (most importantly in my opinion) reference articles on MIDI
and many other topics only on the edges of MIDI. I have found this to be
an excellent introduction to MIDI and helpful in my MIDI efforts.

It is, of course, available from Opcode Systems (and maybe some of your
local retailers) but I found it at MacWarehouse for US$29 (retial US$39.95)

Hope this helps
Wayne
