My homepagestartup site and the accompanying blog did start with a college course but the whole experience took a momentum all it's own when I started looking for good sites for the two kids I TA for. They wouldn't get music and I'd often hear them say "Why am I taking this stupid class" from the frustration of not getting it. Everything about notes, half notes, beats, staff was too abstract and it had an awfully tremendous affect on them. I found another site on poissonrouge.com but the San Francisco Symphony has a great site for kids.

What I Like:
It's an interactive, visual and auditory experience. Most of all it's fun!
I love the fact that the site explains concepts like pitch and rhythm and then students can interact with the site and listen and hear the differences.
Things to Check out:
The Music Lab-Read, listen, interact and understand the basics of music.
Radio-Listen to some of the best classical pieces by composers like Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. An absolute joy!
Enjoy!
