I could play on this site all day! Kids who are learning to use a mouse for press and release would enjoy the painting with pixels and making collages. It would be an appropriate activity for older kids who need to refine their motor skills.
This is great. There's even a link called, "What's up in Symphony?" with links for performance dates and tic purchases (but we'd have to go to SF to use it:)
A wonderful site to learn all about the instruments, composers, and musical composition. This would be a lot of fun to explore for kids who are beginning to learn to play an instrument.
I love the section of meet the artist. The artist actually walk you through their work, and how they got their ideas.(in videos).At the end various children ask the artist questions.
This is a great site for elementary grade levels. Very educational with all kinds of interactive games, lessons about composers and the era they lived in, at home activities, and even a virtual tour of the symphony.
Discovered this through Henry Winkler on Twitter - It is an amazing interactive "newspaper" for students in the UK. But there is a lot here we can use in the states.
A neat website that allows you to create unique rhythms and sounds from a drag and drop menu. Experiment with different sound loops, choruses, and instrumental sounds to create your own unique sound loops. Each time you add a new sound a new person appears in the screen. Click a person to delete the sound he represents.
