​Webliography

  1. Learning Music - Ableton
    learningmusic.ableton.com/
    Learning Music is an interactive website created by Ableton that allows users to explore the fundamentals of music through the mix-and-matching of loops and patterns. The lessons dive into the basics of music theory, implementing popular/relatively well-known songs as examples; there is also an “Advanced Topics” section where users can gain a slightly more complex understanding of what goes into making music. I will use this website to allow students to experiment with making their own music, which may help to inspire and encourage students to share their musical ideas that they don’t quite know how to express yet.

  2. Hookpad - Hooktheory
    hookpad.hooktheory.com/ 
    Hookpad by Hooktheory is a “sketchpad” for notating chords and melodies that implements basic music theory. The website color codes notes and chords which can help with memorizing/understanding chord progressions. There are plenty of options that allow room for basic experimentation. I will probably use this website mostly for younger/beginner-level students; however, more intermediate students may find it useful as a supplement to learning arrangement, transcription, and composition.

  3. Flat
    flat.io/
    Flat is a free, browser-based music notation website that allows students to create, edit, collaborate on, and share sheet music. Unlike notation software like Finale and Sibelius, Flat is easily accessible and includes all of the most necessary features that other softwares also have. I will find Flat especially useful for helping students to practice their composition, arranging, and transcription skills. I may even use it myself for creating quick worksheets and arrangements for ensembles. 

  4. Blank Sheet Music
    www.blanksheetmusic.net/
    There isn’t much to Blank Sheet Music (.net) as it’s just a very simple website that makes printing blank staff paper quick and easy. It allows the user to choose from any clefs one could need. I will use this to provide my students with blank staff paper, so that neither of us will need to go through the extra effort of buying manuscript notebooks for class notes.

  5. MusicTheory
    http://www.musictheory.net/
    MusicTheory (.net) is a website that provides beginner and intermediate-level lessons and exercises, including ear training exercises. It also has tools such as interval and chord calculators. I will certainly have my students use the website as a reference, and I will also assign the exercises as supplements to related music theory worksheets.

  6. Toned Ear: Ear Training
    https://tonedear.com/
    Toned Ear is a website that provides users with several exercises for various topics involving ear training. There is practice for intervals, chord quality identification, chord progressions, and more! There is even a melodic dictation section. I will have my students use this website for ear training practice, and I also plan on using it for my own practice to keep my ear training skills sharp.

  7. Musicmap
    https://www.musicmap.info/
    Musicmap is an interactive website with a clean, aesthetic design that provides the user with detailed history of several major AND more obscure musical genres. The “map” also allows the user to more closely explore and learn about how various genres stem from and to one another. I think other than finding this website to be dynamic and interesting, I’ll be able to use it as reference for teaching a music history class. I might implement it as a little scavenger hunt/research type of assignment in the future. 

  8. Edpuzzle
    https://edpuzzle.com/
    Edpuzzle is a website that allows teachers to annotate and add quiz questions to a video. I used Edpuzzle for my Youtube Lesson Strategy project, and I found that Edpuzzle is a great tool for guiding students through learning material presented in a video. The questions keep the student focused on what they’re watching and help them to reinforce the information. As a teacher, Edpuzzle allows me to track students’ progress and check their understanding so I can make sure the lessons are effective.

  9. Kahoot!
    https://kahoot.com
    Kahoot! is a multiple-choice quiz platform that makes learning into a game. I can use Kahoot! to make practicing basic music theory more engaging and add a fun, competitive element to my students’ learning. For example, I might use a game of Kahoot! to test my students’ recognition of key signatures.

  10. Quizlet
    https://quizlet.com/
    Quizlet is a website that creates flashcards. Some students genuinely learn better through repetition of exact terms and definitions, so my students may find Quizlet helpful for studying music theory.
