Google Tool with Hands-On Experiments for Learning and Creating Music
Chrome Music Lab by Google Creative Lab inspires children to create music and examine the connections between music and math, science, and art. It’s simple and fun to play around with rhythm, harmonics, chords, songwriting, and much more. Teachers can combine Chrome Music Lab with dance and live instruments. All of the activities are built with freely accessible web technology such as Web Audio API, WebMIDI, and Tone.js. Check out the Song Maker experiment, which lets users make and share their own songs. Students can try the experiments across devices—phones, tablets, laptops—just by opening the site on a web browser such as Chrome.
