Just when you thought we were done with classical music - fun and games, here are a few more websites of interest:

New York Philharmonic 
The famed New York Philharmonic devotes an entire website to kids. The very attractive website is divided into sections that address areas of musical learning.

On this website you can:
  • Play games
  • Learn about instruments
  • Meet conductors, musicians, & soloists
  • Make your own instrument,
  • Compose your own music
  • Learn about famous composers
  • Read music news




Carnegie Hall Listening Adventures

This website is a complex animated interactive game called Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.  It is reminiscent of the computer geography/history game: "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?".  Targeted for older kids (ages 6-12), the game has users helping Violet, the main character, on musical adventure, which facilitates learning about classical music and the symphony orchestra.
