Music Appreciation Online

Welcome to my demo class! I am interested in teaching music online and I'm looking for a position as a virtual teacher.

My course is a music course that requires written reports about your listening. You can analyse a recorded performance or attend a live performance and critique it. You will learn about many styles and kinds of music. Sign up and enjoy!

Music Appreciation Online is an exciting class and you should visit this page each day.Visiting here will help you with keeping up to date on assignments, and provide you with valuable online resources. I'll present information that makes learning about Music interesting and fun, such as brain teasers or polls about current events. Of course, I'll include plenty of links so that every student can explore a wealth of musical ideas on the web.

Here are examples of the content I might include in this course.

Visit this site to view video taped performances for critiques.

Here, I might put a weekly brain teaser, for example:

Name some composers that were writing music during the same time as the Pilgrims were landing at Plymouth Rock. What musical period would this be in?

Last week's answer: Sonata Form
Last week's winner: Lucia di Studymore

In the News

Here I might mention a story in the news that pertains to an upcoming concert performance and solicit opinions from the class. Or I might ask a question about material we covered in class, for example:

This week we read a story about the life of Mozart. If you were an interviewer and could ask him any question; What would you ask him about and why?

I'll post the responses on the "Class Bulletin Board" page.

Tool Box ( Coming Soon)

Look for this special multipurpose box when our course is fully developed and online. You can place your completed assignments in the drop-box, you can check your grades and the course calendar and even create your own homepage.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about my site. Sign the Guestbook.
