An excellent site I found via Rob's site was http://www.monkeyc.org/index.html
This provides endless hours of fun for kids.....

I have also been really impressed with the resources on the BBC site and use these in lessons on the Smartboard: http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/1xmusic/

If you like Gamelan stuff, try the BBC Virtual Gamelan which is brilliant

I think the BBC Bitesize music revision is jolly good too. What do you two say to that eh?

Ha!.. Yeah, these music teachers must have too much time on their hands .. tut tut!

Yeah - we wish!

Rob, I tried it the BBC Gamelan site. This is very good and would be brillaint for KS2 and year 7 pupils. I have been looking for some stuff like this for GCSE level. Have you come across anything?

I've not found anything suitable for GCSE on Gamelan on the web, but I've got a scheme which I developed with our city Gamelan (yeah, we've got one!) that is suitable for Y9 really. It can be used as a springboard for GCSE work though.

Send me a PM with your e mail address and I'll send it to you in an attachment.
