In fact, many teachers and classrooms are using the Lab to help kids better understand how music works along with its connections to math, science, and technology. The tools were designed with fun and education in mind. If you save something you create, you’re given a unique link to it. The Lab is completely free to use – no account is needed. If you’re a developer, you may enjoy checking that out and even building upon it. The experiments are built using free online technologies and the code behind some of them is even on GitHub. We will begin the process of combining your composition with your video choice in the next two weeks.The project is organized into “experiments.” Each experiment has a different musical focus. Once you are satisfied with your original musical composition you may save the web address to either a word document or email to yourself. To begin again you may press the restart button but any changes made to the settings will also be lost as the site goes back to the default settings in place. To remove either press on the undo button or click on any square previously chosen and the note will disappear.
Clicking on the play button will also stop your composition so that you may make adjustments as desired. Once you are ready to hear your composition click on the play button. To choose and place percussion on particular beats click on the lowest two lines. To begin click on any square and it will be filled in with colour that designates a note chosen. I also chose a tempo of 119 for the song example that I created for this project. I chose 16 bars, 4 beats, split into 2, a Chromatic scale starting on Middle C of 2 octaves. The tempo (or speed) of the composition when played can range from 40 to 240 beats – roughly one to two beats per second. Your notes are shown by different colours for each letter name:Ĭ – red, D – orange, E – yellow, F – light green, G – dark green, A – dark blue and B – purple and accidentals are shown by gradient colours between those notes. Starting Note (Low, Middle or High C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B possible)
Length of phrases (1 – 16 bars possible in total) If you click on settings button you are given additional choices such as: There are choices as to the instruments to be used: Marimba, Piano, Strings, Woodwinds and Synthesizer.Ĭhoices of percussion include: Electronic, Blocks, Drum Kit and Conga When exploring Chrome Music Lab several factors need to be considered. One of their assignments will be to use Chrome Music Lab – Song Maker to create their own original musical compositions for film background music. Division 1 & 2 students are studying how music determines the reactions and emotions of an audience when combined with images.
