Musipedia: The Open Music Encyclopedia

Here is an interactive site to check out with your students: Musipedia: The Open Music Encyclopedia.

Sing or whistle a tune, play the notes on a keyboard and use Musipedia's search engine to find and identify the melody.

Musipedia (not related to Wikipedia) is building a searchable, editable music collection by members who share the same passion for music. Anyone can register to add midi files or edit the collection.

Curriculum Ideas:

  • Use in World History when studying world regions or time periods.
  • Use with your Geography Classes for music of different cultures
  • Use with your English Classes for writing assignments
  • Use in Math Class for measurements and beats
  • Just listen to everyone sing in class!
