This is like a music theory textbook online. It includes great explanations and assignments, although there is not a way to check your completed assignments. It begins with the basics and goes through triads. Midi files are included.

Learn about the different groups of musical instruments. Book includes audio narration in 6 additional languages with text in English.

A very indepth examination of free jazz. Site contains music theory and specific illustrated examples.

Illustrated diagrams and interactive practice problems show constructive and destructive interference occurring at sound beats.

Review of how to produce beats through the constructive and destructive interference of sound waves.

Paper detailing the emergence of the Beat Generation and the Bohemian Dialectic.

For musical instruments and other objects that vibrate in regular and periodic fashion, the harmonic frequencies are related to each other by simple whole number ratios. Students learn why these whole number ratios exist for a musical...

Through illustrated diagrams and interactive practice examples, students explore the physics of sound in open-end air column musical instruments.

Through illustrated diagrams and interactive practice examples, students explore the physics of sound in closed-end air column musical instruments.

The focus of this physics tutorial is on the application of mathematical relationships and standing wave concepts to musical instruments in three general categories of instruments: instruments with vibrating strings, open-end air column...

A video of the book "Musical Max", written by Robert Kraus. Just Books Read Aloud is a site that includes children's books read aloud by normal (but enthusiastic) readers.

This interactive physics tutorial allows students to investigate the nature, properties and behaviors of sound waves and apply basic wave principles towards an understanding of music.

Elaborate on the essential characteristics and the causes of standing wave patterns and relate these patterns to the vibrations of musical instruments.

Alan Belkin provides four of his pedagogical booklets about composing music. They discuss fundamental principles of musical composition, counterpoint, orchestration, and harmony. and provide guidance to student composers.

Fine site that focuses on music notation and on learning how to read it with a focus on the guitar. Includes charts, tips, and other useful information.

"Two Hearts that Beat as One" is the first of four in the collection about the Three Black Crowes by Frank Norris. Read the full text on this site.

Text of the short story "The Music on the Hill" by Scottish author H. H. Munro. (Free site registration offers some additional features, e.g., the ability to insert annotations.)

In this illustrated physics tutorial, students learn about sound wave behaviors and apply them to the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.

A guitar string has a number of frequencies at which it will naturally vibrate. These natural frequencies are known as the harmonics of the guitar string. Students work through several example problems.

Students explore and discover how sound is created through longitudinal waves.

Use this interactive physics tutorial to introduce students to the concepts of pitch and frequency in sound waves.

Students explore intensity of sound waves and the decibel scale in this interactive physics tutorial.

Using diagrams and animations, students discover how the anatomy of the ear and the physics of sound waves work together to allow us to hear.

This physics tutorial focuses on the application of the Doppler effect to sound.
