Free live-coding music tool. Lands in CT for KS5 music because the source code is the medium; the lesson outcome (live-coded composition) cannot exist on paper or notation software.
Live-coded music composition in Sonic Pi
Each student composes a 60-second piece in Sonic Pi by writing live code that generates musical patterns. The composition must use at least three musical structures (e.g. a loop, a probabilistic event, a parameterised melody) defended in a 200-word artist's statement. Students perform live by running code in front of the class.
