Ask a Tech Teacher

Every Friday, I’ll send you a wonderful website (or more) that my classes and my parents love. I think you’ll find they’ll be a favorite of your students as they are of mine.

Click image; click a square to create music--lovely!

Age:

1st-5th grade

Topic:

Integrate music into the classroom

Review:

My students aren’t always geeks who live and breath tech as I do. Some of them have other hobbies–art, sports, even music. For them, I offer websites that will enhance that experience in ways they hadn’[t imagined. Here’s my list of music websites for elementary school-age students as young as first grade:

1. Beat Lab
2. Click the Square; Create Music (one of my favorites)
3. Music Games
4. Dallas Symphony Orchestra for Kid
5. San Francisco Symphony Kids SIte
6. Jake the Philharmonic Dog
7. Carnegie Hall
8. Music with hands
9. Nashville Symphony
10. Play Music
11. Classics for Kids
12. Classical KUSC
