Website: Earsketch

EARSKETCH is a modular curriculum designed for high school computing courses.
Earsketch is a curriculum to teaches core concepts in computer science, music, and music technology. Students learn Python or JavaSript while manipulating sound loops, composing beats, and creating effects using a multi-track digital audio workstation.
The free learning materials are used along with the web-based application. The website contains a section with resources about the curriculum, a national competition, and information about the TuneTable application.
The Get Started option takes students directly to the online application where students can jump right into the learning materials and online application.
Librarians will find this website to be a fun way to promote coding while connecting to both computer science and music.
