Today's student is used to interactivity and multimedia, and these music websites can help augment the usual classroom fair, whether you are teaching elementary music or basic theory for college freshman. Most of these theory websites provide user-friendly lessons with colorful illustrations, and a few even provide online exercises. 

 Musical U
Musical U is an online community that provides ear training and music theory expertise, detailed lesson plans, examples, free practice audio, and more. 

 Ricci Adam's Music Theory.Net
Ricci Adam's Music Theory.net is my favorite online music website. Not only does the online music site provide lessons in everything from basic intervals to Neapolitan chords, there are also a large number of exercises. Additional utilities include a chord calculator and a matrix calculator for serialism lessons. Additionally, there are basic exercises in aural theory and chords. The online lesson have simple explanations and are accompanied by audio examples.

This theory website provides a number of drills in chords and intervals, as well as other basic music theory skills. Although there are some problems with loading time and the interface may be a little confusing the first time, the drills here are an invaluable resource for basic music theory students and teachers.

Top 10 Mistakes When Writing for Percussion

9. Writing the glockenspiel part as heard.
You shouldn't have to climb a ladder of leger lines to read a glock part. Keep it in the staff.

8. When in doubt, adding more suspended cymbal.

Music Marketing Book Tips - Double-checking your Bands logo & font. An LW Music Business Speaker and Author Video Blog.

In The Artist's Guide to Success in the Music Business, I have small music marketing book tips in gray through out the book. So if you are skimming you can find little tidbits and helpful music business tips to think about and apply.

One of the music marketing book tips that I did not include in the new music industry book was about checking and double-checking your bands logo and bands font to see how similar or close the might be to others.

Very often a musician or band will get a design that they really like and run with it, not realizing till later how close it might look to some one else's or some other product. The horror stories, which I do include in the music marketing book, include a group that had paid a small fortune for merchandise before receiving a cease and d…
