To illustrate this point, it’s worth mentioning that I wrote this Chromebook review on a machine that cost me just $175!

We hope these experiments inspire you – whether they give you a new perspective on music, make you more curious about math and science, or even make you think of new ways to teach or code. We’re also providing open-source code so that others can build new experiments based on what we’ve started.Įxploring music can help spark curiosity in all kinds of ways. Just like today’s Clara Rockmore doodle, the experiments are all built with the Web Audio API, a freely-accessible, open web standard that lets developers create and manipulate sound right in the browser. Chrome Music Lab is all built for the web, so you can start playing instantly, whether you’re on a tablet, phone, or laptop. You can play with sound, rhythm, melody, and more. It’s called Chrome Music Lab, and you can check it out at g.co/musiclab. We built a set of experiments that let anyone explore how music works. This year, for Music in Our Schools Month, we wanted to help make learning about music a bit more accessible to everyone by using technology that’s open to everyone: the web.
