FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do students make?

Programs that generate beat patterns, chord progressions and musical sequences, with visualisations to go alongside them.

Do students need programming experience first?

No. It is a block-coding mini-course: students connect blocks rather than typing syntax, and it introduces the basics of coding through music.

Do students need to read music?

The course investigates how code can be used to create and enhance music by building beat patterns and chord progressions. Nothing in the course description assumes prior musical training.

How long does it take?

About 15 contact hours, sized as a unit to drop into an existing class rather than as a course of its own.

Is this available bundled with the art and sports units?

Yes. Coding Explorations is the 40-hour quarter version containing this unit plus Generating Art with Code and Coding in Sports.
