An Oldie But Goodie

Ricci Adams' musictheory.net is an amazing site. I have been using it with music students for many year. Think of this as a bit of nostalgia.

Ear Training

I am not a big fan of freeware, much more of a 2.0 guy, but this is a great tool for music educators. The basic version is a note recognition program. The advanced includes intervals. Amazing stuff.

Tetoria

A nice music theory website that includes exercises and tutorials.

Drum Head Tuning

The accent makes this a little tough, but this video on tuning drum heads is nice. 5min.com is a pretty neat site.

Tutorial for Finale Notepad

A nice tutorial for using Finale Notepad. Finale Notepad is a basic music notation program and a free download and we make it available to all the teachers in our district.

Old Time Jazz Recordings

Lots of historic jazz recordings in Real Audio format. Nice when kids want to know what Bix Beiderbechke sounded like.

Super Mario on Trombone

The performance isn't great (maybe they were sight reading), but this movie of three trombones playing the the Super Mario theme is fun. (thanks, Flamin libs)

Drum Lessons

Pretty cool site of drum lessons. Now if we can only get them to hold still long enough and quit drooling on the keyboard.

Musicians Tutorial

Musicians Tutorial has tons of links on the music business, careers in music and software.

JazzTube

There is just so much great stuff on YouTube for teachers and students. At JazzTube there is an amazing collection of jazz clips. A great opportunity (if YouTube is not blocked at your school) to expose students to these musicians and their style of music.

Advocacy for Music Ed on MENC

MENC has done so much to promote music education. This page includes research for a stronger case then just test scores.
