Internet Video in Music Education

Posted by David French on November 15, 2009

“Why can’t we use youtube?” a student asks.

There are lots of music resources available to music teachers on youtube, google video and yahoo video. However, due to school filtering systems, students are normally unable to access these resources. With this in mind, the video resources recently added to TANBUR come from other sources.

Why not try some of the providers listed and let everyone know if the links work in your school with a student login.

Are you able to access Internet music videos in your school? Can you access popular music videos from MTV? Should sources such as GOOGLE VIDEO, YAHOO VIDEO, MTV and YOUTUBE be available for student use?  

You can also SUGGEST A MUSIC VIDEO LINK. Please note that link suggestions may not be published.

Please post your comments on video links here.
