Web Spotlight contains an annotated catalog of World Wide Web sites of interest to the arts education community. It offers these categories:
Focusing on the music section of the Web Spotlight, here are just a few of many resources that will be very helpful to the music educator.
One of the links on the "Web Spotlight" page is Auditory Perception. "In this pilot project they present you with interesting and fun demonstrations from Psychoacoustics. They illustrate some principles about the way they understand the sound world around us, and the way in which music makes use of these principles."
Composers in Electronic Residence for music teachers who use midi technology in their classrooms. It's a non-profit teacher-run community which gives the participants a way to link up with some experienced composers around the world. "Click on Kristi's Neat Scales to see (and hear!) an example of this interactive compositional process."
Dixieland, The Birth of Jazz is a glorious site. This will be a perfect site for preparing for Black History studies. Here you will find:
K8 Home Page is a wonderful resource. I have used some lessons from this site and they were superbly innovative ideas. Be sure and look at the lesson plans. You'll be glad that you did.
Kit Eakle's Virtual Music Classroom is very helpful and extensive too. There are sections on:
Wynton Marsalis On-line is another great place to visit on the Internet. If you haven't treated yourself to Wynton, now is the time. This site is well worth the visit. There is info on blowing your horn, making music, and a link to Wynton's Home Page. Take the time to get to know Wynton.
