For this Flex class, we will be meeting for six (6) weeks on learning different aspects of Chrome Music Lab. We will learn how to use Chrome Music Lab Song Maker, and learn to write simple songs on there. We will also learn how to write the first 16-bars of "Satisfied" from the musical, "Hamilton." We will also explore the other features of Chrome Music Lab together, and then the final project will consist of each learner composing their original work from Song Maker. Learners will be asked to pick a certain number task each week on Google slides, and search for that task on there to complete the task they chose. Once learners complete the task, they will post their task number work on the classroom page to share with others. 

Videos of the lessons will be posted each week.
