Easy Computer Music Programming with Scratch

This presentation was given at the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Winter Conference on December 5, 2015. These slides, along with examples of student work, were presented to an audience of public and private music teachers from around New York State. The presentation walked the attendees through basic operation of Scratch, including how to create a working drumset and keyboard. I also demonstrated the use of a MakeyMakey in collaboration with Scratch to expand on the concepts covered. The session included examples of student work created with Scratch in my 6th grade general music class.
