Musicpedia : The Open Music Encyclopedia
http://www.musipedia.org/ Musicpedia : The Open Music Encyclopedia Welcome to Musipedia! Inspired by, but not affiliated with Wikipedia, we are building a searchable, editable, and expandable collection of tunes, melodies, and musical themes. Every entry can be edited by anybody. An entry can contain a bit of sheet music, a MIDI file, textual information about the work and the composer, and last but not least the Parsons Code, a rough description of the melodic contour, to make the encyclopedia searchable by melody. |

Pronouncing Dictionary of Music and Musicians
http://woi.org/dictionary/ Pronouncing Dictionary of Music and Musicians Pronouncing the titles of classical music and the names of composers and performers is a daunting task for many Americans because so many of the words are foreign to us. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that some of the names that look familiar are not pronounced as we would pronounce them. This dictionary provides some help in the form of pronunciations by a phonetic system devised by E. Douglas Brown of the staff of WOI Radio at Iowa State University. Many of the pronunciations in the dictionary were derived from tape-recorded pronunciations made by foreign nationals who were were speaking their respective native languages. |

Internet Recording Studios
http://www.rocketnetwork.com/ This site, and free software, allows musicians from around the world to work together in non-simultaneous musical-collaborations in online virtual studios. For example, someone lays down a guitar track, and then others build upon this track with bass, keyboards, voice etc to create a finished musical piece by musicians, including your school's music-students, whom have never met. The idea has amazing potential for school music faculties, and students. |
