Music Sites
[] ** How can it be used as an educational resource? ** The site covers most aspects of the Music curriculum at primary level and is perfect for the following:
 * A teacher demonstration of the various instruments using a projector and an Internet connection in the classroom
 * A student exploration of the various instruments followed by completing the activities in the "Game Room"
 * Group compositions using favourite instruments
 * A teacher-led presentation of various composers followed by a class quiz
 * The creation of artwork, poems, stories or podcasts in response to a chosen composition.
