Bella Johnson Online Resources

The document discusses four online music resources: Incredibox, The Epic Online Orchestra, Body Synth, and Drumbit. For each resource, the document provides a brief description of its features and capabilities. It also proposes potential lesson plans for using each resource in a classroom, such as having students compose rhythms to sing over Incredibox loops or create chord progressions and stories with The Epic Online Orchestra. The document evaluates each resource's target audience and suggests how teachers could incorporate them into music education lessons.

Online Resources

Incredibox:

I think that Incredibox appeals to a large audience. The website is easy to navigate, and has fun visuals that can
be enjoyed by all students. I think it would be a good prerequisite to using Soundtrap by being an introduction
to using loops. The website presents seven figures, which can be assigned one accessory each from a catalog of
twenty. Each accessory has a different sound or vocal percussion loop. Students can add the loops they want to
create their own demo, and can experiment with giving certain figures solos, or muting them. When they are
finished, they can record their project and submit the link to their teacher, or share with their family.

For a lesson plan, I would create one demo with my students to introduce them to Incredibox and demonstrate
how to use it/record their final projects. Then I would display rhythms on the board and have everyone sing
them/conduct while the demo plays in the background to keep the beat. For their assignment, they would make
their own demo, and compose a 2-4 measure rhythm they could sing over it in 4/4, 2/2, and 12/8 (The available
unlocked sets are all in four). I would then have them play their beat for the class, sing their rhythm for
everyone, and have everyone notate it. Then we would all sing what is written and practice conducting.

The Epic Online Orchestra:

I think this application would be appreciated the most by middle and high school students. The website allows
the user to hear the major and minor chords of every note, and use them to create their own chord progressions.
The site also has different mood buttons such as “Sadness” “Dramatic” and “Wonder” that provide chords that
fit those moods. Projects can be transposed and exported as MP3, Wav, and MIDI.

For a lesson plan, I would have students create a chord progression that goes along with a short story they
create about one character. They can use the mood buttons to get chords that display the emotions of the
character, or use their own creativity. I would then have them export the chords to MIDI, put it into
GarageBand, and then add a vocal track where they can speak the story over the chords. They would also have
the option of adding a melody to the story and could record themselves singing it.

Body Synth (Creatability)

I think the target audience is elementary students. The website assigns chords to different parts of the users
body when they move around. You can change the instrument to Guitar, Strings, Drums, or Synth. They also
have a Voice Command feature where you can speak what chord or instrument you want to change in real
time.

I would have students split up into groups and create a set of movements/a dance to do in the camera. They
could also make a list of commands (sort of like a form) that they say at different moments of the dance to
change the instruments/chords. This would be a good job for someone who may not feel comfortable/able to
dance.
Drumbit:

I think the target audience of the website is anyone who is a beginner at creating drum patterns and beats. It
allows the user to create a four measure loop, and breaks each measure into four sixteenth notes. There are
many different types of drum kits ranging from Latin, Dubstep, to FX. The tempo, volume of each instrument,
and the amount of swing can all be altered. Students can also add panning, and filters. The application also has
demos in different genres, which can give students a starting point if they are unsure where to start. Once the
project is complete, it can be shared.

In the classroom, I would use this to have students learn about the different sounds of each part of the drum.
Additionally, they could create their own beats.
