Two great music websites for students!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope your week was less stressful than mine!


One of the assignments we had this week, was to design a website for either a specific class, or just a general classroom website. I had designed a website for the latter, and when looking for interesting musical resources on the web, I had found two interesting websites that students may find really handy!

Virginia Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary

Occasionally there will be times where a student will find a term in their music, or during a rehearsal or lesson that isn't clear to them. That's where this will come in handy! Not only are there definitions, but many listening examples and images to demostrate the term further if necessary! Also provides definitions for chords and instruments, but unfortunately, not composers, which is a shame, really. ):


Ricci Adam's Musictheory.net

This site has not only many animated lessons, but many ear training excercises to test their skills in identifying chords and intervals, as well as tools to calculate chords and intervals as well as a pop-up window piano! There are also apps for these exercises you can purchase on an iphone as well! How cool is that?

If you want to check out my website, click here! It's a little shabby because I'm not a teacher yet, but maybe I'll use it in the future and be able to build upon it once I for sure know what to do!

Check out the websites even if you aren't a musical person! I'm sure you'll enjoy them! :D

Edit: Oooh, this just in! I did some more snooping into the Virginia Tech Music Dictionary, and there's a whole LIST of composers with biographies! By all means, use it too!
