Ninja Instructions | Mentor Notes

How can you utilize Scratch to create sounds, instruments, bands, or styles of music that represent the music that you love the most? In this activity, you will build your own music inspired Scratch project by pairing strips with sounds to design interactive instruments.

30-45 minutes

1. Create some sprites and backdrops:<Br>
   
2. Add sound blocks.
   
3. Experiment with ways to make your instruments interactive

• Use repeat blocks to make a sound play more than once.
• Import or record your own sounds or experiment with the Sounds editor.
• Try playing with the tempo blocks to speed up or slow down the rhythm.

• What did you do first?
• What did you do next?
• What did you do last?
