This one is brand new. I wrote it yesterday.
Here’s the story. The other day I got a call from my nephew, who is 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He wants to learn how to program computers.
I asked him what he is into these days, and he said music. So I put together a little on-line program where you use programming to compose music.
It’s still just a sketch — not yet ready for prime time. For one thing, I haven’t yet added a way to save your work.
But it’s definitely ready to play with. I’m curious whether my nephew will end up using it to learn about programming.
A bit more advanced than my usual game of “10 men went to mow a meadow” when trying out a new language.
Perhaps that is another feature to add after saving, being able to print lyrics karaoke style.
The app is awesome.
I’m curious about whether it’ll get your nephew hooked as I did. =)
Here’s my tune.
