I guess I’m on a music education kick. Earlier today I posted a link to a list of classic Jazz performances. Another great place to find educational materials about jazz and blues is the NPR Jazz and Blues page where visitors will find recordings, biographies or musicians, and streaming jazz radio stations.

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra has a fantastic website designed specifically for students. The DSO features interactive activities for students to learn about the instruments in an orchestra, the history of orchestral music, and basic music theory. The highlight of the DSO website is Beethoven’s Baseball in which students play a three inning baseball game using composers as players.
