Website Evaluation: Musictheory.net

This website was very user-friendly and included clear links to lessons, exercises and tools. Although the visuals are not colorful and exciting like some younger-based music websites, it was thorough and easy to follow. I found the lessons helpful and each one corresponded with the activities provided.

This website would be a useful tool for middle or high school students to use, and even to be evaluated on. If students have computer access, they can complete "activities" after learning lessons in class, and print out the page that their score is displayed on for the teacher to formally assess with a given grade.

Musichtheory.net is up to technology standards. It even offers a mobile device application for iPhones, as well as the iPad that teachers and students can use on the go. I could practice analyzing chords while waiting for a doctor's appointment! The website of course has social technology access to Twitter and Facebook.

The only thing I was disappointed with was the credibility of the author. I love that he gave his name, however we do not know his credibility or his musical background!
