This is an excellent site for all things theory. There are many drills and other materials for students. It requires a subscription but, in my opinion, would be well worth. This would be a great resource for AP music theory students to work on their own outside of class.

This is a music theory practice website. You can also download software so that it can be used offline. There is a fee if you want to track student progress, however, you can use the practice drills for free. Teachers are able to customize their drills.

With iPads becoming more widespread, the number of music apps available continues to increase. There are many good ear training software packages for Windows/Mac but it is good to see one for iPad.

This site provides links helpful to band, chorus, orchestra, and general music teachers. The recommended sites have been researched and are of legitimate use for educators and musicians. The sites listed include professional organizations, academic music education resources, blogs, discussion forums, and  app/software reviews.

On this PDF, there are many links that connect to music sites that students can use. All of the programs are "in the cloud". Students can access these from any computer, at home, school or on the road. All sites are included to facilitate musical creativity.

This is a document that is a resource for creativity and technology for music learning put together by Dr. William Bauer for the FETC in Orlando, Florida on January 31, 2014. Other headings include: technology to facilitate musical creativity and general cloud-based technologies useful for facilitating musical creativity. This page is an excellent resource to develop ideas for learning with technology in the classroom. Many of the programs are free, easy to use and applicable to many educational ideas.  

Musical Creativity in the Cloud is a Google Doc by Dr. William I. Bauer. It is a list of resources to integrate technology into the music classroom and encourage creative thinking. Each item on the list will facilitate organization, creativity, or music learning. Dr. Bauer comprised a list of fifty resources to integrate technology into the music classroom including notation software, cloud-based libraries, media players, and organizational tools.

Music research at the CASS is concerned firstly with the design and construction of the hardware and software technologies associated with the production of music and sound and secondly, with the creative application of those technologies in current musical performance or sonic installations. The research includes a historical and theoretical perspective.

Leaffcutter John is a ground breaking artist who experiments with electronics and music. He is in the line between a pop electronic composer and an avant garde electronic composer. Not formally trained in music (he has a degree in arts), he sought the possibilities of computers to produce multimedia art. I copied one of his successful gadgets which has 16 photocells that interact with a music software (Max/Msp).

A free textbook to learn music theory. It aligns with the Practica Musica music theory software. The software, however, isn't necessary to learn from the book. The book includes embedded media.

This is said to be a free site that is a money management software for bands #UFMUE

This is an educational website, but you don't have to be in a school or university to use it. It takes as its model Kutiman's brilliant thru-you.com site, where he made seven new songs by remixing bits of video shared on YouTube. Included here for free are video tutorials which will show you how to create a basic remix just with the software that comes free on a Mac, or is available free on the internet. Windows users may be able to get the same results with Acid by Sony.

Composing/Music Theory Software

The Music and Sound Design Platform is a new approach to making electronic and electro-acoustic music. Music_SDP uses many of the same tools and processes that are found in your favorite music software, but introduces a new paradigm for exploring sounds, performing songs, and writing electro-acoustic compositions.

Music education tech resources and ideas are listed and categorized by device or software (SMARTBoard, iPads, etc..)

This book is a music education wiki focusing on music education with digital technology. Information in this book unfolds how teachers use technology in music classrooms, the pros and cons of technology, and how to effectively use technology in the classroom. One fascinating information I picked from this book is the use of classroom mobile phones. Almost every student in high school has access to a mobile phone. These mobile phones have a new software called "blue tooth" which enables one to share a file from a phone to a computer or to another person's phone. This tool can be utilised in class during composition, for students to share their compositions and get feedback from each other. These compositions can then be sent to a computer and students edit their compositions using soft wares like Audacity.
