Can You See Music? This amazing site features creative computer
animations of famous classical, jazz, and Latin pieces. See below
for descriptions of specific, child-friendly animations:
"El Caballo y la Montura", an exciting Latin piece featuring a horse,
is Miss Lindsay's favorite animation.
Another cute one is "The Chant", a fun jazz piece featuring Jelly
Roll Morton.
Finally, Beethoven's "Fruhling" Sonate in F, Opus 24, is a pretty
classical piece featuring a bicyclist and a very talented egg. Enjoy!
