In this post, I will focus on three of the experiments: Song Maker, Kandinsky and Rhythm. Each one has applications in music, science and mathematics. In total, there are 13 “experiments” to teach and learn with. Chrome Music Lab is one of those apps, and boy does it deliver in the classroom!
One of those things is creating quirky, innovative apps which just tick all of the right boxes.
Google, for all of their all encompassing status, are great at many things. Best of all, the Music Lab features open-source coding so you can even create your own devices to get as whacky as you like.After over 15 years in education and with music as his speciality, Andrew Keegan, shares his thoughts on Google Chrome Music Lab.Ī little while back, I stumbled upon a hidden gem of the Internet: Last year, Google added MIDI support to Chrome since then, we have also seen a Roland-inspired drum machine and GarageBand-style sequencer. The Chrome Music Lab is the most recent browser feature powered by Web Audio API, although it is certainly not the first.
In addition to the more pedagogic tools, there is a Kandinsky-inspired sequencer, a spectrogram to engage with, and devices that allow users to record (through their computer’s built-in microphone) and manipulate vocals in a number of ways. As The Next Webreports, the Chrome Music Lab was created primarily for USA’s Music In Our Schools month, but ironically, it seems far more likely to drain working hours for adults than the typical Doodle. Utilizing Web Audio API technology, Chrome Music Lab instantly turns the beloved browser into an innovative, fully-functioning instrument designed to help both musicians and non-musicians learn the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, harmony, and arpeggios. MaChrome Music Lab: Google Says No DAW, No Problemįans of Google Doodle, you’re in luck – Google has just launched a musical counterpart, the so-called Chrome Music Lab, a plethora of interactive tools, instruments, and sequencers that allow you to manipulate music and audio within your browser.
