Music

This project is featured in chapter 3 of Coding and the Arts. In it, students use the music blocks in Scratch to sequence out simple melodies. Depending on the song used, this can also be a great place to practice iteration as students find repeating segments of a song and then use loops to recreate those patterns in code.

This chapter 3 project from Coding and the Arts goes best with as little structure as possible. You want students to have the freedom, time, and support to explore and experiment.
