Crank It Up An excellent interactive site for young learners who have to place household items onto a 'machine' which when working creates rhythms based on the items on the machine. These can be recorded online, joined and replayed. The possibilities are endless.	Cave Sounds An excellent interactive activity in which learners listen to a number of sounds and 'drag and drop' them into a grid to create a series of rhythms.	Gamelan An excellent interactive activity in which learners follow musical patterns created by 'Polly' using 3 different xylophone type musical instruments - Peking, Saron and Slentham (no I didn't know what they were either).	Monkey Dance A means to test rhythm, co-ordination and IT keyboard skills. For pure fun this is a must.
Endless Limitations The title says it all. The site comprises many rhythm beats for learners to clap along to. This develops into actual rhythm creations.	Drum Beats A simple 'drag and drop' activity. Multiples of nine animated drummers can be brought onto the blank screen each playing their own particular drum beat.	Miss 'Em An interactive game on 10 levels which tests learners ability to follow a rhythm. I found this activity difficult but then I'm not musical.
LaserLab Perhaps there is little here to do with music except when 'Beat Match' is engaged and then it links the science of the laser with music......just.	Drumkit A simple activity based around a drum kit where learners can create various beats and rhythms.	OneStudio Sequencer A more complex music creation tool for more able learners involving rhythms and synthesizers.
Sliders A simple tool to explain the concept of pitch, I think.	Marvellous Machines An interactive activity in which learners can make music by altering the rhythm, pitch and volume of a series of weird looking musical machines.
	Musically Interactive A series of activities counting beats, clapping rhythms and the introduction of musical notation.
	Rhythm Railroad A music creation tool for young learners using different rhythm sound spikes to a set piece of music.
