.

Painting to the sound of online music
In the new section we have created in Musixcool, you draw to the sound of music. Select a musical style, wait a little while, for an online radio station of that very style, and begin to paint to the sounds of music. A hip activity for the music class!

The Musixcool Library
Links to the best musical websites are stored in our new musical library. Use them, learn and enjoy yourselves!

Our new InfantsCool
In the children section, we have gathered a nice selection of activities for young children and infants. You will be able to give the little ones a first experience with music on the computer – and don’t worry about difficulties and confusion – it’s all very simple and from all around the web.

Straight into the Drive-In
Just like a Drive-In – you drive your car and park in front of the big screen, and then the movies begin. And they come from all around the Internet – the coolest, most beautiful and interesting musical films – now in your Drive-In!

Virtual notation library
Now, we all already know you can find everything on the Internet. But finding exactly what you need in all this abundance – now there’s a different story... So here, we opened a new service of locating websites with free notes. Useful, efficient and economic. And as always, we make sure to keep it comprehensive and up-to-date.
Musicscoop is out, "Fun-Key Town" is in (for the time being...)
Having found out that, compared to other part o Musixcool, you are a lot less interested in our magazine, we had decided to replace it with a new service - a collection of animated, amusing musical clips and parodies, that will make you all laugh.

Taqasim - composing oriental music in class
Taqasim - yet another development on the way to Nadav's Ph.D. - is a tool designed for the creation, teaching and playing of oriental music in the different maqamat, using the various means which are the virtual building stones of planning a taqsim (the oriental improvisation) - the "Mosaicons".
Some games for the summer, and for our baby brother or sister
Here are some nice games prepared for your pupils, and or the younger siblings at home; you teachers can enjoy those too...

BEMOL - a creative tool in a musical programming language
Within the framework o Nadav Dafni's Doctoral study, you can take a peep at the development of BEMOL - an experimental tool for teaching children composition. This application is based on a programming language specifically developed for this purpose in the University of Darmstadt, Germany. This programming environment was called GUIDO, after the great medieval musical pedagogue, and it allows use of online tools in order to turn a computer program written by a child, into notes and playable audio files.
New!!! Hundreds of guides to the activities in Musixcool
We are now vigorously busy adding hundreds of guides to Musixcool's activities. The guides include instruction manuals and creative ideas for activating students and teachers.
The activities in Musixcool have been updated
Lately, we have updated dozens of activities in Musixcool. Some of them have been canceled, and some of them have been updated and broadened in different ways. Enter and enjoy...
New! – General Midi Voice List
Here it is - the full list of the GM sounds. Print it
for your students.
The music theory curriculum!
In Musixcool we added the skeleton of the curriculum
we recommend for music theory studies. This program is meant for private
teachers and institutions that teach student to play instrument. This skeleton
can form the basis for an entire teaching program of your own in music
theory. Every institution and every teacher can make the changes and adjustments
they see fit – in fact, we recommend that you do so.
Added to Musixcool – site map and age-group
classification
On the bottom of the Musixcool members' homepage (we
call it the City) we have recently added age-group classification of the
website’s activities and site map. These two screens are designed to assist
teachers and instructors who are interested, to locate activities and contents
– and match them with the age and the required goal.
Painting with computers and
music
We have discovered that letting the pupils work with
tools of visual arts, while listening to music, classical or otherwise
– is a terrific way of working with them. They can express their ideas
and imagination, as they grow from the music.
Software downloads have started!
Beginning this September, our musical software download
service began operating. Every month 4 programs are offered for download
(one per week). We do not intend to offer massive volume, but rather quality
– high quality software. Each and every piece of software will be better
than the last one, and fitting students, amateurs and schools. We are committed
to this venture, both technically and in terms of musical content.
The activities and young instructors
The activities in the Musixcool activity section do not
include explanations and guiding. We want the pupils to explore and to
find out for themselves how to activate, play and use every activity, and
later teach their classmates. This system has been proved successful and
is recognized as a great technique – excellent for learner and teacher
alike. It nurtures thinking, discovery, curiosity and problem-solving.
Teachers – try it!
