Here are some great websites that you can explore together as a family.
**Children should always ask for an adult's help when exploring on the internet.SFSKids - This is an incredible website from the San Fransisco Orchestra!
DallasKids - This links you to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's site. Also great!
Kids Corner from "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. This link
takes you to the Marine Band's Kids Corner which gives you a virtual tour
of the White House.
Carnegie Hall Listening Adventures - AMAZING! This site has 2 great
adventures. (CLICK HERE to go to the site.) Read more below:
One is an interactive game called
The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra,
by Benjamin Britten. The games are tricky if you don't listen carefully to the
directions. Even then, there might be times where parents need to help the
students understand what to do. (CLICK HERE to go directly to The Young
Person's Guide to the Orchestra, by Benjamin Britten.)
The other is an illustrated and animated guide through Dvorak's New
World Symphony. It actually plays the entire symphony! While the symphony
is playing, you will read about the composer and his journey to America.
If you pay close attention, you will see pictures of the instruments that are
playing. (CLICK HERE to go directly to Dvorak's New World Symphony.)
