    2. Software options for music creation:
      1. Audacity (Already installed on all the laptops, this is great for adding effects.
      2. Soundation (Make a free account, use the "Sign up with Google" option and use your PGCPS email account.)
      3. Music Lab Song Maker (A very simple step sequencer)
      4. Onlinesequencer.net (A much more advanced step sequencer)
      5. Incredibox (Song mixing using outfits)
      6. Groove Pizza (Step Sequencer with a more circular interface)
      7. Sonic Pi (Use code to make music. This is installed on some of the desktops. I can install on the laptops as requested.)
      8. Phone apps (There are many apps that let you make your own music. I am personally a fan of step sequencer apps myself.)
      9. Chrome Audio Capture (Useful if you're using a web based tool that doesn't let you download the song you're making.)
