A one-hour MIT lecture by Walter Lewin on the physics of sound and how it relates to music, built around demonstrations. Commenters describe it as a serious physics lecture pitched at a young audience.
Commenters recommend it as secondary material for learning music theory because it is a serious physics lecture made accessible, with plenty of hands-on experiments.

on a similar note (and because there's some great links being posted here), this video by walter lewin covers the physics of sound and how it relates to music, it could be good secondary material for someone learning about music theory:

what's great is that it's a serious physics lecture, but designed for kids, and there's plenty of funky experiments within the one hour.
