As we explore the different experiments, their separate addresses will be listed below. The main website for the Chrome Music Lab can be accessed at the following link:Īll 13 of the experiments can be accessed on the main site, although, each one also has its own unique web address. See below for an explanation of each of these engaging tools. These activities are also cross-platform, working on laptops, tablets, and phones. This is a collection of 13 interactive "experiments" (so far) that let users create, play, and learn with a wide range of music concepts. When I first started using these with my kiddos, I projected it onto my interactive whiteboard and we worked as a class to create a composition using the Song. To help explore musical concepts and how they relate to other topics, Google has created the Chrome Music Lab. Likewise music can connect with science when exploring sound waves, frequencies, and more, as has influence and occurrence in history, literature, and art. 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. When I used to teach middle school math, one unit I always loved to do each year was my "Music and Math" unit.
