This lesson utilizes both the Chrome Music Lab Oscillator and the Chrome Music Lab Strings experiments to enrich student understanding of sound and pitch. But with technology, this is no longer a barrier! It is easy to demonstrate sound vibrations, sound frequencies, and have students be able to experiment with these ideas on their own too! Take a look at how technology can enhance student learning by utilizing two Chrome Music Lab experiments. With very few instruments outside of my classroom percussion instruments, teaching about sound production was difficult because it is hard to demonstrate and hard for students to apply. One example of this is using technology to further student understanding of sound. Technology can provide an opportunity for students to dig deeper in ways that may not have been possible without it! This is my favorite thing about incorporating technology into my classroom. With the left mouse button pressed, it generates, for example, sine or sawtooth waves, which can be modulated as desired by moving the mouse up and down - until you feel sorry for the innocent figures, which you mercilessly stretch or compress and in their wide-open mouths Frequency response is to be followed.This is a guest lesson plan by Katherine Miller.

These include sequencers for arranging small songs or for creating melodies or simple rhythms, but also visually impressive things like a spectrogram that shows the frequency spread of a trombone or a harp. Under the name Chrome Music Lab, the company has assembled a good dozen experiments, all of which can be operated in the browser without prior knowledge. Teachers at school can use them as well as children at home.Įven adults can gain knowledge here - or at least some fun. Many small, digital music workshops from Google show how it's done.
Making music works without sheet music and conventional instruments.
