In this practical, project-based learning guide, music students, educators, and coders receive the necessary tools to engage with real-world experiences in computation and creativity using the programming language Scratch.
Create Music with Scratch
Flex your creative muscles with fun coding projects in Scratch. In Project Code: Music, young coders can use and refine their Scratch skills to create cool, professional music. Easy step-by-step instructions show you how to build a project up using real sprites and building blocks on the Scratch website and then go on to experiment with variations of your own. Tips and tricks help you make the most of this fantastic coding tool and the cool illustrations by Glen McBeth add a touch of humour! Project Code is a great series for young coders already familiar with Scratch, who are ready to take the next step. With a series of fun projects to master, each book allows readers to explore, create and learn coding fundamentals as they go along. This series supports the National Curriculum for Computing at KS2 and is ideal for readers aged 6 and up.
Scratch music
"Any direction modern music will take in England will come about only through Cardew, because of him, by way of him. If the new ideas in music are felt today as a movement in England, it's because he acts as a moral force, a moral centre." This is Morton Feldman's assessment of Cardew's importance, an assessment that took on prophetic status when Cardew cofounded the Scratch Orchestra in 1969. This orchestra was a culmination of the ideals expressed in Cardew's own music in the 1960s when, working in almost total isolation from the musical establishment, he patiently drew together a large group of composers and performers into experimental music through his own compositional activities and through teaching. This group became the nucleus of the orchestra. The draft constitution of the Scratch Orchestra opens as follows: "Definition:A Scratch Orchestra is a large number of enthusiasts pooling their resources (not primarily material resources) and assembling for action (music-making, performance, edification). "Note:The word music and its derivatives are here not understood to refer exclusively to sound and related phenomena (hearing, etc).What they do refer to is flexible and depends entirely on the members of the Scratch Orchestra. "The Scratch Orchestraintends to function in the public sphere, and this function will be expressed in the form of—for lack of a better word—concerts." This lively book on the repertory the orchestra created is as much graphic and visual as it is verbal and about aural events and happenings. This is because scratch composers are often possessed of strong visual imaginations—after all, scratch music itself (as the above "Note" suggests) is meant to be perceived by the eye and indeed by all the senses and not just by the ear (the sensual mix varies from one composition to another). Also, the notation used in preparing scores for actual performance may be graphic, collage, verbal, musical, or whatnot. The main body of the book depicts a selection of such scores. They are composed of written words, photographs, maps, graphs, diagrams, musical flow charts, conventional musical notation, whimsical drawings, playing cards, crossword puzzles, and various other things. Together, they give the reader some idea of what it is like to put on a scratch music event.
