Scratch - Playing/sequencing music with animated stave - Frère Jacques

Script on the Treble Clef sprite runs through the notes to your tune.

Each note is displayed on the stave with its name in the thought-cloud

Students can repeat sequences of notes using Repeat loops.

Can experiment and write their own tunes, own can try to recreate a known tune (problem solveing: how many times will you play each part, testing etc.)

What tunes can you play with the notes included in this program? Would you need to add any more to play a particular tune that you want to play?

The See Also link to the Royal Society has a video of someone playing the same tune, also in Scratch (a happy coincidence).

Level: Beginner

Duration: 1 lesson?
