Wiles shared an assignment where third and fourth graders were challenged to create a recognizable song.

I could readily see students intuitively learning note value, pitch, and music sequencing. I started with the song maker where I could easily add tones using a block building format. She directed me to her teacher Chromebook and I was off. Being a musician and music educator, I couldn’t help myself and asked the teacher, Anna Wiles, if I could play along.

While touring the building, I stepped in to the music room where students were giddy over the work they were doing in the Chrome Music Lab.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brookwood Elementary School, a great STEM school in the Dalton (Ga.) City School District.
