This site, a collaboration of Sony Music and W. W. Norton and Company Publishers, is like having a music textbook online. Check out the glossary, where you can read the definition for saxophone, then click to hear an example of tenor sax in Ravel's "Bolero." Eras and Composers round out the offerings on this great site. Not all sections have audio files linked, but the variety of information and audio clips offer students of all ages a wonderful resource.
