To help explore musical concepts and how they relate to other topics, Google has created the Chrome Music Lab.
Likewise music can connect with science when exploring sound waves, frequencies, and more, as has influence and occurrence in history, literature, and art. As mentioned above, music can tie into math through fractions (duration of notes), exponents (decibels), multiples (beat), and prime factorization (harmonizing notes). One of the great things about music is how connected it is to other disciplines. We even concluded the unit with a day of student performances called "Curtstock" or "Curtsapalooza" (depending on the year). We explored lots of connections between music and math, while learning about fractions, exponents, prime factorization, and more. When I used to teach middle school math, one unit I always loved to do each year was my "Music and Math" unit. With this experiment you can compare spectrograms of different sounds, or use the mic to see what your own sounds look like.Īll you need to do is open an 'experiment' and play.
The Spectrogram experiment turns the instrument or sound into a picture. The Rhythm experiment allows you to build patterns on the grid to build your own rhythms. The Shared Piano is a simple tool that lets you play music together live on the web. The Kandinsky experiment turns anything you draw – lines, circles, triangles, or scribbles – into sound. Others are more complex and can be used by music pupils and teachers for remote music teaching and collaboration (eg: the Shared Piano).įor example, the Song Maker experiment lets you make and share your own songs. Some are simple and very easy to explore with younger children (eg: the Rhythm experiment and Kandinsky experiment). This is a great set of free online tools (or 'experiments') made by Google, allowing kids - and adults - to explore music in a fun way.
