    This music resource page is a great way to have students learn about classical composers and not take up too much precious rehearsal time. Students can go on the page and select a podcast of the history of the composers being studied during a particular season. Then they can submit a short write up based on the podcast and have short discussions before rehearsal.

It also puts various pieces from classical composers in one place, making for easy access for classroom use.

    What a great resource site for music recordings! Our student computers block YouTube, thus this site will be great for my students who wish to research and listen to new music. Currently, a second grade "reading" group will be writing biographies of composers, and I want them to be able to listen to their compositions.
