New York Philharmonic Kids

This is a site that I have used with 4th and 5th grade general music students: New York Philharmonic Kids. The site has a game room, a composer's gallery which gives info on various composers (including a recording of a composition that they wrote), an instrument storage room which gives kids info and recordings of various instruments, and other cool things. I gave the kids a worksheet to complete which had them write the composers name, birthday, deathday, identify which musical era they composed in, what their main instrument was, and three interesting facts about their lives. The kids really enjoyed navigating the site and when they were done studying two composers, they were allowed to play in the game room. We did a similar day for the instrument storage room.
