From the time I started giving private lessons, the Music Tech Teacher site was a must. When students come in and can't focus or settle down, they are given a little time at the computer which sits right next to the piano. I especially like her music games such as "Mighty Music Man" an animated game having a super hero deliver pianos to classical composers. For each note that students identify correctly on the piano keyboard, Mighty Music Man is able to fly a little closer to his destination.
There are some great rhythm games as well as worksheets, lesson plans, etc. Let me use Mrs. Garrett's description of her site.
"This site is an extension of the music technology classroom at Central Park School in Birmingham, AL. I have been teaching Instrumental Music since 1992. I started teaching Music Technology Classes in 1994. My 2nd through 5th grade students are learning to read, write, compose and publish their music. Student work, videos, photos and music compositions are posted on this site. The site is also used to provide music technology links, quizzes, resources and information to all music teachers interested in using technology to enhance music instruction. As I teach in-services to our school music teachers, I will post notes and handouts. I hope that the site will serve as a valuable resource for teachers and students. Thank you for visiting my site!
Ms. K. Garrett, Music Tech Teacher"
