Essentials of Music
Essentials of Music is a bit advanced for early elementary students to browse on their own, but the site is a valuable resource for music teachers of all grades. Category tabs and alphabetical listings help you find what you're looking for fast, whether it be a biography of a composer, a description of a musical era, or the definition of a word. Whenever possible, entries are supplemented with sound and image files to help illustrate concepts.

Learning Zone
The Learning Zone boasts a large glossary of musical terms, a set of explanations for musical genres, a list of composers and their bios, and a discography of music found in movies. The site aims at placing a novice to classical music on the path to appreciating it.
