How it maps to the curriculum

Strand: Melody
Suggestions for use: Ideas from this site can be transferred to the classroom by creating the student's very own musical composition. For example; start with your own beat and then add and takeaway various melodies and other voices to compose a complete piece. This would also be a very good exercise to help with how to notate the music on to paper.
Some time is required to become familiar with the ways to use this incredible sound box.
