Keyboard Set Up Time!!

​

​Directions Summary:

1. Connect the MIDI keyboard to your CCA laptop using the included USB cable.

2. Your keyboard will NOT make sound by itself. You will need a DAW. **These links will be shared in the chat and on the next slide.**

3. If there is no sound, don't panic! Review the troubleshooting steps shared by your teacher.

​IMPORTANT:
Always plug in your midi keyboard before opening Chrome Music Lab. This will give you more success in creating a sound the first time.

What is a DAW?

DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation.

 

Please bookmark these websites for quick access to ways to get your keyboard to make sound:

Chrome Shared Piano Link

Dot Piano Link

Troubleshooting

1. Plug in keyboard BEFORE opening website
2. Refresh website
3. Unplug, count to 10, replug (may need to repeat)
4. Computer restart

"Unplug, Replug, Refresh, Repeat"

​DON'T PANIC!!

What is Music?

Music is the purposeful arrangement of sound.

As you learn and gain new skills in this course, you will listen to, read, write, and perform music!

Elements of Music

The elements of music are musical components that work together to change ordinary sound into music.

These are what make musical experiences memorable and impactful.

What are you looking forward to learning in Music Class?

Is it the elements of music? Composing? Music through time? There's so much we'll explore!

Coffee Chat!

At the end of every class, I will remain on the call for 5 minutes for anyone who would like to have a chat about all things music! Share your favorite artists, songs, and give recommendations to your classmates and teacher! Share any concert experiences you have had or are looking forward to or hope to see! This is OPTIONAL but will be a fun mini session. (No coffee is required either).
