00. Setup & Test
First time using Code Piano? Start here!
Block coding requires almost no typing, so you'll have fewer errors, but text coding is more flexible and it's what real coders use.
01. Piano Beep
Let’s start with basics- beep a single tone on the piano on repeat to learn about loops!
02. Piano Triple Tone
Combine three notes to start playing a scale on Code Piano. Then see how far you can take the code with new notes!
03. Piano Morse Code S.O.S.
Combine tones to beep out the classic "Save our Ship" Morse code message.
04. Random Tones
Let the code 'choose' which note to play next for a random stream of tones.
05. Ascend to Charge Song
Start making music with the classic 'Ascend to Charge' song popular at baseball games.
06. One Key Piano
Start building a piano by getting a single key to trigger a note.
07. Two Key Piano
Add a second 'key' to your piano to get the hang of 'if-else if' statements.
08. Eight Key Piano
Make a fully-functioning piano with all 8 keys triggering a different note.
09. Variable Note Piano
Make your piano easier to modify with variable notes for each key - now customize the keys to your own octave!
10. Random Note Button
Trigger a random tone with a button to create your own one-of-a-kind song.
11. Piano Button Pitch Changer
One button raises the pitch, the other drops it down. Hold down your buttons for some fun sound effects!
12. Piano Rising Siren
Learn about loops within your loops and build an automatic half-siren sound effect.
13. Piano Rising and Falling Siren
Use back-to-back ‘for’ loops to create a sound effect you can control to sound like a siren, alarm, or whatever you can dream up!
14. DJ Booth
Use all of your coding skills to create a DJ booth of sound effects. Then create your own dance party with Code Piano!
Songs to Tinker With
Here are some example songs to modify and make your own. We recommend completing up to project 9 so you can understand how these songs are coded using variables. Only available with text code for now!
