One of my all time favorite kid's music site is The New York Philharmonic Kids Zone.  Check it out!! You can learn about instruments, composers, and the orchestra.  There are lots of fun games - you can create a virtual instrument, write a song, listen to every instrument, and learn about the history of music. 

Need to practice your note names?  Try "Staff Wars!"  You do need to download the game and install it on your computer.  It is FREE - but be sure to check with your parents before downloading.

Sunrise Gospel Jukebox lets you listen to classic gospel hymns for free.

Classics for Kids features a composer each month, has "seasonal" classical music, a music dictionary, great information about the instruments of the orchestra,and a lot of cool games that teach music.  I think you'd really like "Compose Music!"

Want more composition tools?  Check out the "Creating Music" site.  This site allows you to create songs online and has some fun games for memorizing musical patterns.

Explore the Science of Music! Another fun site that lets you compose and mix your own sounds while learning about the science behind music.
