Music Learning Community - FREE Melody Mayhem 1 - Play - 0 views

  •  
    This is a nice colorful ear training game for melody recognition and sight reading. I think it would work well in middle school. I feel it might be a bit advanced for elementary.

Note pair music game for your ears - 0 views

  • Psychologists report that people who learned to play some musical instrument are smarter and have a better memory than people with no music training.
  •  
    This is an ear training game using a "matching card" format. It looks simple and almost boring, however, once a person starts playing the game it becomes very interesting, This is well suited for middle school as it does not appear to "babyish".

Für Elise by Ludwig Van Beethoven - Songfacts - 0 views

  •  
    This is a page from the previous Songfact website. It talks about how a current artist sampled part of this piece. It is a good relevant general music discussion to illuminate how today's artists are influenced by what students might perceive as outdated and irrelevant artists to today's music.

Songfacts - Songs Starting with A - 0 views

  •  
    This is a very interesting website. I wouldn't let my classes "roam free" during class but as a teacher resource, relevant songs could be brought up and discussed as a class. Students could submit a song request and the teacher could preview ahead of time the appropriateness of discussing it's history.

"Does Music Therapy Work?" - Introduction - 0 views

  • Music has existed in some form since the Prehistoric times, and the first likely use of music was a call used to communicate to other members of a family unit or group either for entertainment, spiritual purposes (for example, rain dance chants) or for survival in hunting or gathering situations.(6) Notably, the role of the shaman or healer has been well documented(7) and can be considered analogous to the role of the music therapist today.
  • Whilst bias and exaggeration is possible in music therapy trials (as with all research), overall music therapy costs less than a drug trial - which often need millions of pounds in support.(32) In addition, drug trials are more likely to be implicated in pharmacological corruption(33), with consequences for patients by virtue of skewing or altering results - as seen with the understatement of the negative effects of Agent Orange, a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) herbicide used in the Vietnam war, by Monsanto.(34)
  •  
    This is an interesting article on the effectiveness of music therapy. It points also points out how cost effective music therapy is compared to drug trials.
