Ok, I’m not a music gooru, but this site is pretty fun. It’s called the Chrome Music Lab. Here’s Google’s description of the goal of
the site:
“Music is for everyone. So this year for Music In Our
Schools month, we wanted to make learning music a bit more accessible to
everyone by using technology that’s open to everyone: the web. Chrome Music Lab
is a collection of experiments that let anyone, at any age, explore how music
works. They're collaborations between musicians and coders, all built with the
freely available Web Audio API. These experiments are just a start. Check out
each experiment to find open-source code you can use to build your own.”
The site lets the user experiment with rhythms, chords, harmonics,
strings, melody maker, oscillator, sound waves and more. Science teachers can even use this one to
enhance some of their units about waves and sound to help bring in their musically
talented students. For a non-music
person, I spent at least a half an hour playing on the site and having a lot of
fun.
There’s also a really cool lab that let’s you see a visual spectrogram
of a musical piece from different instruments or one that you record.
Here’s the link for those that are interested.
