Lessons
Lesson 1: Introduction to Earsketch
What is Earsketch? In this lesson, students navigate through EarSketch and find an example that corresponds with each letter.
Lesson 2: Creating Music
This lesson focuses on how to code music. Students will use fitMedia to learn about music sample, track, start measure, and end measure.
Lesson 3: Building Blocks of Programming
Students will think about what is the “heart of music”–the drum. Students will learn that 1 measure equals 4 beats.
Lesson 4: Building Multiple Track Beats
In this lesson, students will think about their beat and add additional tracks to make a song.
Lesson 5: Variables
In this lesson, students will learn to use variables using synth or track.
Lesson 6: More Variables
In this lesson, students will learn more about how to shorten their music code using variables.
Lesson 7: Debugging
In this lesson, students will learn the most common errors that happen while creating music using EarSketch.
Lesson 8: Mood in Music
In this lesson, students will learn about tempo in music. The slower the tempo the calmer the music and the higher the tempo the more energetic.
Lesson 9: Volume Gain and Pitch Shift
Learn how to add volume gain and pitch shift your song introduction
