Hello kids! Here is a really fun website for you to check out, called Chrome Music Lab.
The Chrome Music Lab has 13 different experiments with unique ways to play, create, and visualize sound and music. Can you figure out how each experiment works? What kinds of creative patterns and sounds can you make? Can you write your own song (or re-create one you already know)? Try some of them out!
Now let’s look at the first experiment called Song Maker.
Choose an instrument and create a melody using low notes, high notes, and rests. Add a beat to go with it at the bottom. Play it back so you can hear what you composed. Don’t forget to click SAVE if you don’t want to lose your song!
Click here for a tutorial which explains some of the details of the program. Otherwise, just start playing around and you’ll figure it out!
I started the song “Hop Old Squirrel” for you – see if you can finish it! Click here to give it a try… Hop Old Squirrel
Have fun!
