Game: Online Music Games URL: http://www.flashmusicgames.com/ Age Level: Kiddos on up What it does: Simulate playing various musical instruments and create tunes that can be played back. The student can control variables such as the speed of the playback creating different tempos. Observations: Considering the extensive and varied web site as a whole, since each individual Flash simulation is rather slight, a student with talent and novice-level musical knowledge could have a lot of fun here exploring the sounds that can be made. A site like this might be made a bit more realistic if adapted to a touchscreen, for instance playing drums with a computer mouse doesn't mimic the action of playing a real drum set. Up/Down: Thumbs up.
