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. Try out Chrome Music Lab for yourself and learn some music or just have some fun: I used to teach middle school math, one unit I always loved to do each year was my 'Music and Math' unit. Check out each experiment to find open-source code you can use to build your own.” They’re collaborations between musicians and coders, all built with the freely available Web Audio API. Chrome Music Lab is a collection of experiments that let anyone, at any age, explore how music works. So this year for Music In Our Schools month, we wanted to make learning music a bit more accessible to everyone by using technology that’s open to everyone: the web. Google say of the Music Lab: “Music is for everyone.

Created for Music In Our Schools Month, encouraging children towards music, the Music Lab was created to encourage learning music through the unique use of technology, as well as the possibilities of in-browser technology. Today Google launched their new “Chrome Music Lab” a website featuring 12 different tools you can use to learn and experiment with sound and music in gorgeous, unique ways.įrom an incredible visual experience using a spectrogram to cartoon monkeys drumming under your guidance, there is something bound to fascinate even the musical veterans in Chrome Music Labs. Google have always been innovators in web browser technology, experimenting with the extent of web-browser capability and functionality. With Google’s new Chrome Music Labs you can draw music, learn arpeggios, make melodies, play with your voice and more, all in your browser.
