Mr. Taylor’s Class
composers, authors, & illustrators
May 2022
In music class we read the book The Song Garden by
Vicky Weber. In the story, a community creates magic song
gardens that make music. The gardens mimic the music
staff with the five rows corresponding to the five lines of the
staff. We created our own song gardens and the magic of
them is that you can hear the results using Chrome Music
Lab Song Maker. You can click on the speaker icon on each
student page and hear their creations. All songs are linked
using the piano instrument. Once you are on the song
maker page, students can select a different instrument
and add percussion instruments. You can also create
completely new songs. We hope you enjoy these student
compositions, their writing about them, and their
illustrations.
Click on this speaker on each page to hear the
music created by each student.
By clicking on the rectangles, you will change the notes
or turn them on/off. Try different combinations of note
colors, you can use more than one in a column, you can
even draw pictures. Have fun composing music!
Click on the dots to add
percussion parts.
Click on the piano to change to a different instrument
for the colored melody. Click on the electronic
instrument to change the percussion instruments.
