The website was given a 2009 Parent's Choice Award for its family-friendly introduction of world music to young people and it's resources for teachers, parents and special education professionals. World Music With DARIA is a website from this multiple award-winning educator and musician. Please share your results with us so we may continue to update this list. We encourage all teachers to search and seek out websites. In addition, we have listed some good search sites. Many sites offer areas for teachers and parents. While the myriad links and searches produce hundreds and hundreds of results, the following sites represent a researched sampling of the musical, youth-oriented websites on the Internet today. It would virtually be impossible to offer a comprehensive list of music websites however, MTNA offers this overview of selected websites that teachers might find helpful for augmenting lesson materials-particularly to enhance those six practice days between lessons! In no way will computers ever replace music teachers, but teachers can supplement lessons to include websites designed to help students gain skills while using the computer and the wonders of technology. Computers can entertain, can provide a vehicle for learning and are filled with all the bells and whistles technology has to offer.


Oftentimes, computers fulfill this role, playing a large part in the lives of students. Today's music teachers are faced with new challenges: Students live in a fast-paced "wow-me" world they are not necessarily motivated by intrinsic values, but rather seek to be entertained by something or someone.
