Dr. Richards' Moodle

What is music? Is birdsong music? How about the tap-tap-tap of a hammer, or the wail of a creaking door? Is playing a garbage can different than playing a drum?

Explore the science of music with us, through these online exhibits, movies, and questions.  Along the way, you can compose, mix, dance, drum, experiment, and above all…listen.

Play the games in order, beginning with #1 and ending with #5, to gain a greater understanding of rhythm!

Playing six music games will permit the student a clearer understanding of orchestral and band instruments.

Generations of Americans have invested the flag with their own meanings and memories.  Here’s your chance to interact with this national treasure and contribute your point of view.  Whether you sing your own version of the national anthem, ace our 15-star quiz, get an up-close-and-personal look at the flag, or contribute your photos and stories to our mosaic—we hope these activities will inspire you to learn more about the history of the Star-Spangled Banner and what it means to you.

Begin with game #1 and play all six games in order to have a greater understanding of pitch!
