Interactive Music Activities
The following links will take you to different sites on the internet where you can find all sorts of musical games and information that will be a learning experience, but some hands-on fun as well! I have personally visited all of these links, and know that they are "safe." (appropriate) There may be secondary links on these pages that take you to other pages on the internet, and I have not visited all of these links... so parents may want to check out secondary links before allowing free access to their children.
