“Music Meets Science” Computer Music Series
DO YOU LOVE MUSIC? Would you like to create your own music
using a computer? Last year, Girl Scouts
of Nassau County created a new S.T.E.M. related program that revolved around
the world of Music Technology. Using wireless tablets and laptops, girls
created, recorded, manipulated and synthesized sounds to create their own
songs, remixes and sound collages. Girls who completed the program not only
found it fun, but 71 percent of the girls who participated learned more about
music and 86 percent of the girls learned more about technology.
The “Music Meets
Science” Computer Music Series introduces a whole new world of Music to Junior
Girl Scouts. It allows them to explore fun ways to interact with music and
sound, all while learning about math and new technology; it makes learning math
fun. By the end of the series, each of the girls composed a three minute MP3
recording of their original music that they could share with their friends and
family.
We, at the GSNC
Service Center, loved this program because it livened up the office. Not
only did we have the pleasure of seeing girls around the office, but we also
were able to hear the music that they were creating.
At the conclusion of the series, girls completed 4
of the 5 requirements for the Girl Scout
Junior "Musician" Badge.
