2nd Edition Lesson
Digital Music Makers
GRADE 1 STEAM
Creative ideas are all around us. In this STEAM lesson, students will create a musical idea (a song with lyrics, music notes, etc) and it will have an intended purpose such as being a theme song to their favorite TV show or a new tune for their doorbell. Students will create these musical ideas on digital platforms that best fit their creation’s needs, such as Nearpod, Suno AI, or Chrome Music Lab.
