For my Thing 17 choice I selected Musipedia. Perhaps it was the site avatar that drew me in due to it's similarity to the textbook cover of Musicophilia, but it is an incredible mixture of both historical data as well as creative.
In short, the application for which I envision educational use is with music theory curriculum.
Students are able to input specific pitch and rhythm information to serve as a search query into the site's data base. The returns provide mp3 versions of songs closely matching the search query parameters/information. Also, youtube videos of each song are provided, as well as copyright information, composer, song title, categorization, print music vendors of the selection, etc.
Students will have their eyes opened to structural components of music and the vast body of work which exists simply from a few motifs of pitch or rhythm which they enter.
