Music Class Resources
While Mr. D. works hard to vet all links, it's always best to check sites out yourself before allowing your children to view them, and it's generally best to have adult supervision on hand. Some sites, like translation sites, online dictionaries, and,of course, YouTube can give easy access to inappropriate materials.
Here are some useful online resources
