Introduction
In addition to using books and magazines to find out about Mr. Cooks Music Links, why not also use the power of the Internet? The links below will get you started.

The Internet Resources

Instruments

Phil Tuldd Music Through the Curriculum - The purpose of this site is to provide useful links from music to other curricular areas like science and math. This web site is interactive and fun. I find it to be a useful website for students and teachers.

Technology

Music Technology in Education - This is a web site that incorporates music with technology in so many ways the options seem almost endless. The creator of this site is Dr. James Frankel. Dr. Frankel completed his master and doctorate degrees in music technology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. Finkel has presented in music clinics across the nation and is affiliated with the music educator’s national conference.

Music History

Classics for Kids - This educational site is funded by a Cincinnati classical radio station. The recordings are superb and the information is great. They have a new featured piece of music each week.

Theory

Capistrano School Music Room - On this sites home page you will find links that correspond with most major parts of Music history and music theory. For instance, if I were teaching intervals I would begin by clicking on the intervals link. When the page is opened, there are many different visuals of different intervals. I choose the ones that I want to teach and read the text that is accompanied with the visual. The next feature that I like is, if you click on the interval, there is a media link that plays the interval for you. So the kids can see it, hear it, and read it. Most of the links in this site follow this format.
Mr. Mrozewskis Page - Good site for music links, and introducing students to basic music theory.

Database

K-12 Resources for Music Educators - This is an excellent site for music educators! If you are, band, choral, classroom, or private, this site will benefit you as a great music education resource. This site is a database of many music sites. If you are searching for a particular music web site, then start your search here.
