With the internet being at our fingertips, it seems like an incredible waste not to use it to its full potential. Often times, websites can put things in a way that makes much more sense than if you tried to explain it yourself; a good example of this is SFS Kids. This website explains the basics of orchestras, symphonies, and music in general in a way that children can easily comprehend. The website is inviting and full of pictures, and animations designed to catch a student's interest.
By engulfing students in music from a young age, we can help students develop a love of music, and in turn an appreciation of its purpose. Websites such as these can be very helpful in doing so. By using sites such as SFS kids that have a goal of helping students understand music concepts, we can use technology to create better musicians for the future.
This is a great website! It teachers the basics of theory and music in a fun way with interesting graphics. I think my favorite parts were the "performalator" and the "composerizer". I sat on my laptop and played each of the pieces under "performalator". It even allows you to play two notes at once. Not many digital keyboards are like that. Awesome find!
