"Music Quizzes, Games, Practice Pianos and Help Pages by Ms. Garrett

Scroll down the page to play over 130 elementary quizzes, puzzles and games about music. Music Information and Theory pages below will help you learn the names of music notes, rhythms, terms and the names of famous musicians and composers. I have posted a list of the programs that I used to create the quizzes at the bottom of this page."

"In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

The videos can be played simultaneously -- the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders."

"Elementary music games should be both fun and educational. After all, most students learn best when they are having fun at the same time. The sites that follow are as entertaining as they are educational so you can be sure that they will bring the fun factor to your elementary music lessons."

The Technology Institute for Music Educators (TI:ME) is a non-profit corporation registered in the State of Pennsylvania whose mission is to assist music educators in applying technology to improve teaching and learning in music. Please browse the site and take advantage of the many resources offered here!

You type in the words, the website sings them to you based on other song lyrics. Very cool!

"The Songwriting Tools wiki is an idea base for songwriters, teachers, and creative musicians. This little piece of the web is being developed because many music students have an interest in writing songs, but the time demands on music instructors in schools are simply overwhelming! Novice songwriters will find help here, and overburdened teachers will now have a resource for their creative students!"

Voisse has three core features at its heart - Record, keep and share.
1. Record

Voisse allows users to record any audio (or sound) they choose in whatever way they want - on-line using any modern browser, phone by calling a dedicated number or uploading existing recordings.

In doing so anyone, from the youngest child to the oldest adult can create recordings (Voisses).
2. Keep

The heart of Voisse is a personal store for all your Voisses, called My Voisses. This area is private by default and provides users with a simple method of cataloguing and tagging their Voisses. These Voisses can then easily be grouped together to create fantastic slideshows each with their personal narrations, giving relevance and context and a rich user experience.

Slideshows can be viewed on-line through a custom built viewer or downloaded to an iPod device so that they can always be with you and viewed whenever you want. The portable slideshow is in technical terms a podcast. No-one else gives the you the ability to easily create their very own podcasts.

There's desktop software that does similar things to Voisse, but it's infinitely more complex and require considerable technical ability.
3. Share

A core reason people choose to record audio is to share. Voisse gives you this ability, if you choose, via email or social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

Many people have things to say, experience and wisdom to pass on, things which others value. For those who have popular or unique recordings or slideshows, we have created a Marketplace where they can be bought and sold.

The Voisse Marketplace offers you a unique area to create and sell your audio content.
