Introduction

Hope you’re in a musical mood! In this lesson, students will create fun musical projects and games. 

• Use code blocks to add background music to the main Actor in a scene
• Apply coding concepts to create a project with music

New Code Blocks

Objectives

• Use code block to program Actors to send and receive messages

Activities (45 minutes)

• This module introduces three concepts:
  • “Play Drum” block- This block plays a specific drum or percussion sound for the specified number of beats.
  • “Play note” block- This block plays the specific note you tell it for the specified number of beats.
  • “Set tempo” block- This block sets how fast the music plays.

• This module is an example of a musical project, where each button makes the robot do a different dance!
• Tell students to click (for web) or tap (for mobile) the buttons to make the robot dance.

• This module showcases how to make a song play over and over using a “forever” loop combined with a “play sound until done” block.
• Note that the “play sound until done” block is used, rather than the more common “play sound” block. The "until done" part means that the music has a built-in "wait" block!
• Encourage your students to add whatever sound or music they like, and make the robot dance to it using the buttons!

• To solve this puzzle module, students will need to program the blue button to switch to “off” when the blue orb touches it.
• Give a hint: Tell students to select the “blue button off” parameter inside the “switch to costume” block.
• A score of “4” wins the game!

• In this module, students will view an example of an interactive button that plays music or a sound when pressed!

• Now it’s time for your students to create their own musical button! In this DIY project, students will need to program a button to play a sound. Students will also need to animate the button so it appears to be depressed, similar to a real physical button.
• Your students can use any sound from the Tynker Media Library.
• Did students finish early? Direct their attention to the bonus section in “Step 4/4” of the tutorial, which encourages students to add more buttons!

• Students will be asked 5 multiple-choice questions to review concepts from this lesson.
