Music Makers

There are lots of great websites out there for creating music:

My favorite is Aviary's music creator - Choose instruments, and draw them on a page of empty circles.  Try it out and you will see what I mean...
Here is a simple song I literally created in under a minute.  Imagine what could be done with more time...

My Drum Song....egg on Aviary.

Sketch Music- Create music using a sketch pad.  Draw with the piano, drums, clarinet, or trumpet.  Click on the composer to hear your drawing.  From the site Creating Music.
Play A Piano- Play a digital piano using your keyboard or mouse.
Audio Tool- Make music from your web browser, connect with other users, remix other peoples tunes.
Audacity- free program for recording and editing sounds.

I also found an excellent collection of music makers on cyber-kap.blogspot.com

Soundation - Very easy to use w/ a drag/drop interface for creating some excellent sounding music. 

Jam Studio - A fun site that lets users select a "key" to play in and then a theme to match it to. 

Loop Labs - A little bit of a higher learning curve then most online sites but w/ a nice time line editor.

Your Spins - A great site for mixing prerecorded music and then sharing w/ others.

Indaba - Is a unique site where people can create collaborative music pieces to make one final product.

Creating Music - A fantastic website to show kids how to create digital music. Very user friendly!!

Contrapunctus Variations - A wonderful site for creating orchestral type music by selecting an instrument and clicking on a time line.

iNudge - A very fun site for kids who make music by drawing shapes.

Glitchscape - Create sound by drawing vector shaped rectangles.
