Prezi's

http://0103.static.prezi.com/export/2011/07/09/musical-instruments-are-everywhere-q_dwbc0jeuc6.zip

I'm not exactly sure if I think that Prezi's are worth the effort. Perhaps it' s because I don't fully understand how to go about creating them and manipulating them once created. I totally understand the benefit but find it frustrating learning how to create them on my own. I firmly believe that this is one topic that needs an experienced teacher to help guide students through the process.

Building Diversity in Classical Music

Students,

Check out this website!  I thought it was wonderful! After exploring the website, write a comment for me. What did you think of it? Could you picture yourself playing one of these instruments in an orchestra? Anything is possible if you set a goal and work towards it. I am also including several other websites that have music games and interesting facts about orchestras in the United States.
