    Incredibox is a great website to explore musical creation and entertainment. Incredibox invites you to become the conductor of a group of human beatbox. You can share your compositions with others from all over. It's a really fun website that even students will enjoy using.

    Incredibox is a neat web-based app where seven loops at a time are available for students to use at a time. They may remove and add loops at any point, and there are unlocked special content available for certain combinations. This makes it seem like a game. Students can share their compositions, but unfortunately cannot download it without paying. Regardless, this is a fun activity where all the loops sound good-no matter what the combination.

    Students can arrange an acapella mix using different beat boxers and vocals.

    This website is suitable for teachers who give students free time to work on music games. Many different music topics are taught by the music teachers and a better way for students to retain the information would include turning some of their assignments into competition. One thing i have learned, elementary students love to be competitive, so if the students are able to get high scores on music games, then they are retaining and getting the information.

    A website that offers various worksheets and games for the music classroom. There is also a section on composers. However, some of the text may be too advanced for K-5.

    This is an excellent website for listening to classical music, as well as, activities to accompany the music. Composer and piece information is written in kid friendly terminology.

    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.

    Something I have often struggled with is getting students to connect with classical music and composers. Classics for Kids breaks the material down to a kid-friendly level, offering games and activities to help students learn and retain the content. It also puts various pieces from classical composers in one place, making for easy access for classroom use.

    Ted Talks are an extremely engaging way to provide students with additional information relating to music, performance, or any other topic you might decide to discuss with your students. Lectures on brain function, social issues, and music are all part of this fantastic collection.

    The purpose of this sire is to provide access to leading and cutting edge conference speeches, educational talks and interviews that motivate, inspire and inform. These "talks" are all gathered in one place to access and explore and have a wide variety of interest for the music teacher. These talks often pose and answer questions about education, contemporary research and the like that will aid in growth and understanding in our profession and perhaps, in effect, better student achievement.

    This is a wonderful, interactive website appropriate for grade levels Kindergarten through 5th grade, with "Jam Sessions" on various genres in music. It uses videos and interactive games to teach students about the instruments, rhythms, and lyrics often used in that particular genre. Genres include hip-hop, country, salsa, reggae, jazz, blues, classical, and rock and roll.

    Chuck Vanderchuck is a fantastic resource for teaching students about different genres found in music (not just classical!). Kids love the different sounds that genre-based instruments make, fun catch phrases that Chuck repeats throughout the site, and different historical facts about how each genre originated. Students are invited to move to music, arrange their own combos with different instruments, and engage in memory games to help them learn the content provided.

    This website allows students to experiment with different genres of music. It gives students a chance to have their own "jam session."
