DSO Kids


Our most recent assignment in TPTE was to do a website evaluation. I chose a site that was relevant to my future classroom. It is a children's interactive site presented by the Dallas Symohony Orchestra. This website was organized well, was easy to navigate, and was appealing to younger students.

This site has a wide variety of interactive activities for students. There are games that cover everything from listening examples to musical time periods to facts about composers. It also provides a visual tour of the DSO Performance Hall.

I would love to use this site as an educator. It even provides teachers with tools for setting up lesson plans that correspond with the games and activities on the site. I highly recommend this site for teachers, no matter the proficiency one might have in music.
