Announcements:

Objective:
- Students will use a variety of online tools to develop an understanding of digital music creation aesthetics and techniques.
1:30-1:40: Start of Class
- Students will find their assigned seats and be walked through the process for logging into the computers.
- Students will go to the front of the class, where Mr. Smith will walk them through the assignment for the day.
1:40-2:20: Instruction & Student Work
- Students will work on a digital music lesson.
- Rubric, Objective, Standards, and links can be found here.
- Today we are using the following music tool:
- Chrome Music Lab - The main page of Chrome Music Lab, providing a variety of sound tools.
- Tone Matrix - A simple step sequencer tool that allows for creations to be shared by placing all selected notes in the "Share" URL, so no data is stored by the server.
- Students are being asked to create rhythms and see what patterns they can make within the constraints of the software.
- Additional instruction will be given as "wonderings," and suggestions based on what students have tried so far. As their choices cannot be predicted those details cannot be included here.
2:20-2:30: End of Class
- Students will showcase their work to their peers before shutting down their computers and lining up to return to their classroom.
