MOG
The Complete Music Solution
Those are their words, not mine, but they are actually very fitting. (hence my use of them) I chose a site from the list that dealt with music because that's what the voices in my head instructed me to do. It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I am a music teacher...
I looked at a few different sites that made music available to people and decided on this one because it has the best features. There are plenty of forums that give you the ability to purchase music and give reviews on it, but this one has gone a step further.
The site actually lets you set up a blog to give your opinions (and comment on others opinions) about what is heard. There are articles that deal with the music industry, recommendations by the editor, and there's even presorted playlists that other users have created.
It's free to join, of course, you do have to pay if you want to download a song. However, this is standard, and I hardly see supporting an artist you like as a downside.
This site would work well for a music appreciation class. Students could log on, share their thoughts, and get feedback as well. Communication seemed to be MOG's focus and that's why I liked it the best.
(I also discovered I like hyperlinking things as well)

As I was reading this post, I kept thinking to myself, "another link...maybe it's different...(click)...uh, nope." I seriously went to ALL OF THEM. Then, the last sentence made me laugh, because I, too, share your enthusiasm about the hyperlink button. It makes me feel "successful."
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you clicked on all of them... I know my web browser lets you hold your mouse over it, and it will show you in the bottom left what it will be without having to click... Repetitive frustration was not my intent. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you see the "hidden" sentence in the hyperlinked sentence at the end???
