Recommended Website:
Age Range: 6-12 (Designed for elementary school-age kids with parental supervision.)
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra sponsors this interactive, multi-media website that helps children learn all about the music, instruments, conductors, musicians, and composers associated with the symphony orchestra.
When you get to the site you’ll see a variety of features. You can click on any one to begin exploring the site, or use the menu at the top of the page that includes:
*Games – Match composers to their correct time period, answer questions about composers, match music symbols, etc.
*Listen – Listen to excerpts from compositions and read the biography of the composer.
*Activities At Home – Learn to make your own instruments!
You can also take a virtual tour of the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas. Bookmark this site, as you’ll need to return several times to experience all that is has to offer.
