 * This page was created to provide the students with the challenge of creating an original composition in a team of four; a Composer, an Arranger, a Professor and a "DJ"
 * This page seems to be run directly by Mr. Warren
 * The author is trying to further the viewpoint that students can create orginal compositions for other students to perform.
 * There is no bias evident in this page.


 * Links to this website appeared only on the webquest.org website
 * This source has a good reputation as a creative source of webquests where other people can create and host webquests.


 * This is an excellent website with in depth information for both the teachers on how to run it. The point of the website is for a group of students to create a chamber ensemble piece and then present and have other students play it for them. This is an excellent idea for a classroom activity that will span a couple weeks. The target age group is eighth grade, which seems just a little too young to do unless they are exceptional students. High school students seem like a better target for this webquest.
