![]() ![]() ![]() Using Sonic Pi as a kind of guitar FX pedal can be a lot of fun. Maybe you’re not into looping, but there’s a lot to be done with the audio input. ![]() What Ben Smith was doing in this video with Sam during the #PiParty may give you some ideas. As you surely know, this kind of inversion in teaching roles can have a tremendous impact on their learning as well as on the school community.Īnother suggestion is to use SP to support your soulful music. One suggestion would be to let your learners teach you about the music they enjoy while learning how to code, thanks to your work. Cool thing about Sam’s approach is that, while he does fully support the kind of music you don’t like (and several of your learners probably do like), he also made this piece of software flexible enough to be used in all sorts of musical contexts. So that’s not the best foundation for SP! Thanks to Sam for inventing this awesome tool! I look forward to hanging out here in this new space and meeting others who are into Sonic Pi. So that’s not the best foundation for SP! But I am determined to learn! But truthfully, most of what I do is by listening and then imitating. I know enough to be able to transpose keys, and I know how to play 6th chords and 9th chords. I have no classical musical training, and while I can read music a little, I play guitar mainly by ear and by “feel”. and probably need some suggestions for where to start learning! I do think that as someone who loves music, that I can learn, and that will help me teach it to my students. Getting better with SP will involve not just learning the code but also becoming more familiar with different forms of music. Actually found a cheapo MIDI keyboard controller on Craigslist and hope to buy it today and start messing with it. I believe that I will have more success as I learn Sonic Pi better, so I’m also now starting to dive into MIDI. So when I found Sonic Pi, I thought “there must be some way I can use this in my classes and also bring in my other side.” I started it last year with my 8th graders with some success. It’s kind of the opposite of electronic music! I’m not convinced that Pro Tools has enabled us to make “better” music, though I love its convenience. I love music with “soul”, “feeling”, and I love the live interplay of musicians. By night, however, I am a blues guitarist who loves vintage music, instruments, tube amps, recording live to tape, and music that is the opposite of “algorave”. By day, I am a computer science teacher and lover of all things digital. I have 2 sides to my personality, and while they don’t actually conflict, they are pretty different. I love the Pi and use it to teach coding with Scratch, Minecraft and Python, and also Sonic Pi. I teach middle school computer science and have two networks in my classroom: Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi.
