The New York Philharmonic Kidzone
The
prestigious U.S. orchestra presents this great site for young virtuosi
and those who might like to be. Kids can learn to identify the
instruments of the orchestra by taking a walk through the Instrument
Storage Room, then help the Maestro sort them into their proper
sections. They
can take a Composition Workshop and learn to make
their own instruments in the Instrument Lab. Some games and quizzes
require a basic familiarity with classical music, while others will help
them attain that familiarity. The only drawback is that the webmasters
have been a bit stingy with onscreen instructions and it can take a bit
of trial and error before you get things working.
