Here is one SUPER fun activity that you can do with just about any grade. You can use the ‘Copy Link’ button, but remember to save the link somewhere otherwise it’s gone for good once the browser page is closed.Okay – first of all, if you’ve never heard of Chrome Music Lab – you need to check it out! It has tons of FREE tools that are great to use for various things in your classroom, even if it’s just for a “fun” day. This should also work on iPads if you are using the Safari browser too. If you are on a computer I recommend downloading the WAV format file. The Save button presents several options. In the settings you can change the length and sound of the song or even extend the range of notes that you can play. When you play the song it repeats in a loop.
These are several important buttons: 1) Play your song 2) Change settings and 3) Save. You can hear what this song sounds like by clicking the image. This is just a sample, but your song can look and sound totally different. There are several instrument types to choose from (e.g. The largest section is for the melody and/or chords. Click the dots in the 2 rows to add the different sounds (e.g kick drum and snare). The lower section is for the drums or percussion – there are several choices for the type of percussion. The blank project screen shows 4 sections representing 4 bars – each with 4 beats. This is my favourite app in the lab as it is the most flexible. If you are using an iPad I recommend using the Safari browser. You will need to export your work or save a link before leaving the website. You do not need to login to start creating, but this also means that your creations are not automatically saved. The Chrome Music Lab contains many different apps you can experiment with – click the image above to navigate to the website
