    Some of these music games don't seem very educational to me, but I think that they offer a variety of musical style games which could be interested for my 5th graders.

The site also features other genres of music which is great to expose students to from an early age.

New York Philharmonic Kidzone - 0 views

  •  
    On this site, students can gain further understanding in a variety of musical topics, some that they may be learning in school. Most of the activities are game-oriented, so this is a fun outlet for kids to explore outside of the music classroom. Students can learn about the instruments of the orchestra, famous musicians and soloists, and popular composers. One thing to note is that the descriptions are rather text-heavy. Therefore, this site would be appropriate for an older elementary student or middle schooler as far as reading readiness is concerned.
