General Info
Experiencing music and programming at the same time. Electronical sounds and music are the product of programming via the open source tool Sonic Pi. It is a code-based music creation and performance tool. It allows in a simple way of coding to produce music. The software was developed in order to find simple ways of dealing with music and programming.
Audience and Educational Framework
Educational Details
The software was created to develop young student’s programming skills. As programming can be a very complex activity the purpose of developing this software was to get output immediately after writing in programming language. Further the code visualises musical ideas of songs. The students are enabled to set up and influence sounds, rhythms, and speed of musical components.
Educators can provide ideas for students of what music refers to:
- confrontation and analysing existing music styles
- create new sound-combinations
- live music and programming performances
The programming environment produces many music related results and provides code.
- Code
- Sound
- Melodies
- Rhythms
For implementing this STEAM learning activity students need digital devices: PC or Tablet.
The software should be installed on all devices.
