Quote of Note...
“It is our job, as parents, educators, and friends, to see that our young people have the opportunity to attain the thorough education that will prepare them for the future. Much of that education takes place in the classroom. We must encourage our youngsters in such pursuits as music education. In addition to learning the valuable lesson that it takes hard work to achieve success, no matter what the arena, music education can provide students with a strong sense of determination, improved communication skills, and a host of other qualities essential for successful living.”

MUSIC THEORY.NET - www.musictheory.net: Welcome to Ricci Adams' Musictheory.net. To begin your journey into the realm of music, please select a lesson, trainer, or utility from the lists below:
G MAJOR MUSIC THEORY - www.gmajormusictheory.org/: This site consolidates GILBERT DEBENEDETTI'S work in Music Theory. Each set of pages grew out of a need in his own teaching. When he first started at the Pittsburgh High School for the Creative and Perfoming Arts (CAPA), Mr. Debenedetti could not find a workbook appropriate for his high school students.

EMUSICTHEORY.COM - www.emusictheory.com: Learning music is like learning a new language. You need a good teacher to show you the ropes, but you also need to practice what you're learning -- a lot -- before it will feel natural and easy. The games on this website are more fun than writing in answers on paper, or doing problems in a book. Plus, you know right away if you get one wrong (and sometimes the game can give you a hint).
MUSICARDS.NET - www.musicards.net: Welcome to Musicards, an ever-growing collection of highly-customizable online music theory flash cards. These music flashcards can be used by beginning music students who are becoming acquainted with key music rudiments, all the way up to intermediate and advanced students who wish to fill in gaps here and there or increase fluency with existing knowledge.
TEORIA MUSIC THEORY WEB - www.teoria.com: A variety of tutorials and exercises; some quite advanced.
