Music History Apps

Dictionary of Music (Oxford)

I’m not sure why I think this app is a must but when you put Oxford on something it just seems like it’s a must. This dictionary isn’t going to tell you about the Beatles but it will tell you about musical terms and other bits of information you might want to know. A must for the classical music aficionado.

A Day In Music History

Maybe a dictionary seems overwhelming. What better way to learn than to break it up by day. Learn a bit each day about music. Of course this app isn’t going to make you into a musical genius but it will make you a pop music dictionary as most of the information in the app is very much rock and pop focused.
