Others are more complex and can be used by music pupils and teachers for remote music teaching and collaboration (eg: the Shared Piano).įor example, the Song Maker experiment lets you make and share your own songs. Some are simple and very easy to explore with younger children (eg: the Rhythm experiment and Kandinsky experiment). This is a great set of free online tools (or 'experiments') made by Google, allowing kids - and adults - to explore music in a fun way.
