    A great article showing how to take a well known tune and teach students how to compose their own melody. The article goes through the process of how to teach it. First you help students to write a base line, have them improvise a rhythm, then they can discover the notes of each chord, and write their own melody using chord tones.

The Infinite Jukebox - 0 views

  •  
    The Infinite Jukebox may come as somewhat of a revelation. For an introduction, readers may go to the site and click on a few of the popular tunes listed on the homepage. For instance, selecting Superstition by Stevie Wonder kicks off the 1972 hit in the way you've always heard it. But then The Infinite Jukebox takes over, matching beats and rhythmic patterns to create intelligent patterns for where the song can go next. No simple loop here. Instead the song plays for as long as the listener would like, but with seemingly infinite variety. Once users understand the basic principle, they can upload their own MP3s for free and let The Infinite Jukebox reorganize them into epic soundtracks for their working day.
  •  
    This quirky creation create an infinite musical loop from any song you select - and by infinite I mean never-ending. You can select a track from the site's vast library or upload a song of your own, which the site will analyze and use to create a pattern. This site could be beneficial for use with classical music to make easy background music.
  •  
    Pretty innovative program that remixes your favorite tunes so that you can listen to them over a long period of time! No need to use the "repeat" button anymore when you like a tune. It is INFINITE!

    The MusicEdMagic.com link serves as an outlet to other online music software websites, links for free sheet music, articles for music research/music making, and other electronic-focused music websites.  I was able to download free sheet music in a matter of seconds  from the musicnotes.com link provided on this link's homepage.  It has links to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest on the homepage, making sharing and communicating accessible upon first glance.  As an educator, I see this page as being best used in private practice.  Being able to provide students with some of the featured videos like "Recommended Trombone Solos and Recordings" or "Audio Software For The Classroom Or Home Recording Studio" seem like links that would be best used for people that are more interested in personal, one-on-one study and creation of music.  However, I could see these links being used in a general setting as well, like ensemble practice or music tech classes.
