Jamglue.com is also kind of fun. You can take your own track or make your own song and them mix it anyway you want.

I think music is so important for students and with budget cuts it often is one of the first to go from the school curriculum. Students can explore different instruments as they tie in to a lesson surrounding culture for example. Possibly experiment with drums when learning about Native American culture. Could also upload a podcast and add music, synthesizers, beats etc to it. Just fun to experiment with!
