These are a few of my favorite links...
We have been using laptops a lot in music this year! 4th, 5th and 6th graders have used Finale to publish their compositions and students in 2nd-6th grades have been using different websites to review different concepts we have been learning about in music. 6th graders even used glogster to publish their composer reports!
You can find all of these sites and more in my pearltree below. A pearltree is a web of links. Click on "Composers", "Music Theory" or "Symphony Sites" to find the links.

Honor Choir Music
Choir Members:
Here are some examples of your music by other singers. Please, please, please practice your parts! You will have a much better experience on Saturday if you are prepared and part of that is memorizing your music.
Chariot's Comin'! (Swing Low, Sweet Chariot)
Traditional Spiritual
Adapted and arranged by Don Besig
Inscription of Hope
Z. Randall Stroope
About the text...
"The Holocaust is a stunning reminder of the tragic results of prejudice and hate toward other people. But it is also a reminder that hope held firm will eventually reign victorious over the greatest of odds. The following words were inscribed on the walls of a cellar in Cologne, Germany, where Jews were hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Hope was all they had to hold on to; hope was their only bridge to a brighter tomorrow." (taken from the octavo)
Oye la Musica (Hear the Music)
Jay Althouse
Pronunciation:
Oye la musica de la vida.
Oy-eh lah moo-see-kah deh lah vee-dah.
(Hear the music of life.)
Oye la vide en la cancion.
Oy-eh lah vee-dah ehn lah cahn-see-ohn.
(Hear the life in the song.)
Porque la musica es el ritmo,
Pour-kay lah moo-see-kah ehs ehl reet-moh,
(Because the music is rhythm,)
porque la musica es vida.
pour-kay lah moo-see-kah ehs vee-dah.
(because music is life.)
