Art, Music, & Dance Resources

Much of the art, music, and dance educational resource material on this page was initially motivated while I was working on links for an elementary school website. Because research indicates that the learning and use of such skills impacts early neurological development, I wanted to provide whatever encouragement I could to teachers and parents. Other links come from my own use of music technology and pursuit of dance interests.
