Web Resource Evaluation for High School Music Classes

This is a wonderful resource to watch live performances of operas, ballet, orchestras, and even master classes. The website include performances starting from the 1960s to now. This can help us as teachers and help our students see how music and aesthetics have changed over time. The website is organized very clearly with the top line having links to everything that is available from "Concerts, Operas, Ballets, Documentaries, and Master Classes." This clarity is key when engaging students who may not want to look very hard for the information. Unfortunately, there is a premium that totals at $189 a year but if a school were to purchase this, it could be shared amongst the teachers as a resource for the students.

This is an amazing web source for free classical music that is in the public domain and sometimes will even include original transcriptions from the composer's hand. For schools that may not have as much money, this resource will help to keep the cost of music at a minimum. There are even a number of professional orchestras that will only use music in the public domain due to issues with funding. This works tremendously for this exact reason. Students can also find pieces that they may be working on in class and look at the score to know what is going on in the music and what the other instruments are doing.
