Allows you to watch performances from different angles in order to see the conductor and different instrumentalists. Allows for a unique view of an orchestra where you can be up close to the people playing in a way that the full view of an orchestra doesn't allow. The interactive nature of being able to change camera angles is also engaging, and would get students interested in seeing the different facets of a whole symphonic performance.

Very engaging and visually appealing website from the New York Philharmonic. Unfortunately many of the links would not work; however, one really cool feature is that there are recordings of symphony performances that can be viewed in a classroom. Much better quality of video than many available videos on YouTube.

Fun and (mostly) kid friendly website with links for kids to learn more about music and composers with somewhat of a piano focus. Uses the Dr. Who "Tardis" to travel through time and space to meet different composers, which could a cool "hook" for students with an interest in the Dr. Who BBC show.

Great resource for teachers with students who would like to pursue a career as a music teacher. Also contains helpful links to a variety of associations for current music teachers. Although there are resources (like lesson plans) available, I was disappointed in how few of the arts lesson plans pertained to music.

Pertinent information about ear health as it pertains to listening to audio with headphones and preventing ear loss. Could be a good resource for music teachers who engage in individual listening assignments, helping students to understand the importance of turning the volume down when things get too loud, etc.

Large selection of ear training games that each specifically focus on one aspect of listening (pitch, voice matching, instrumentation, chords, etc.) Some are free, some are free with creating an account, and many have more levels that can be paid for. This site also has ear training "courses" to help improve this musical skill.

Offers free resources and information on the history of Rock & Roll. It looks like there are online lesson plans and more resources available if one signs up for an account with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. There's also information on field trips and educational opportunities for those who are able to take students to the museum in Ohio.

Lots of technical information on recorder method. Areas of the website that I explored have a lot of information that can seem overwhelming, but is also incredibly helpful. Would be a great resource for someone who wants to learn how to play/teach the recorder by studying/reading.

Interactive game based on Benjamin Britten's "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra." Students get to interact with the different instruments of the orchestra while learning different facts about the instrument families and working towards a goal of completing the orchestra at the end of the game.

Database of information about many composers. Includes biographical information as well as a detailed list of composers according to the styles of music he or she composed as well as a list of where composers are geographically. Could be used as a great online scavenger hunt website, or a database for students to select composers for a research project.
