Music Theory
An interactive website with music theory tutorials for students and teachers by Ricci Adams. Lesson topics include: staff, clef, and ledger lines; note duration; measure and time signatures; rest duration; dots and ties; simple and compound meter; odd meter; steps and accidentals and more.
A chord calculator, staff paper generator, and matrix generator are available for online use. Nicely done.
Ricci has also added some phone apps including Theory Lessons for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Symphony Orchestra
San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
This is a fantastic site with all orchestral instruments depicted and explained. Wonderfully it includes sound files of all the instruments so that students can listen to them as well. It deals with harmony pitch, symbols, rhythm tempo etc, and allows students to fiddle online.
