Posted on by

Finally, we have some Christmas songs for Music Blocks!

A few of this year’s Google Code-In (GCI) students worked on tasks to transcribe Christmas music for Music Blocks, the visual programming language for exploring music’s fundamental concepts.

Run Jingle Bells code using Music Blocks for yourself at:

Silent Night, coded by another GCI student has been added to our examples folder, which can be found at:

Also, an effort will be made to publish updated Christmas Song Music Blocks (*.tb) files to the following folder.

Currently, we have:

  • Jingle Bells
  • Silent Night
  • Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Lastly, we hope to create a collection of music from all over the world. Please share your music by saving your code to the SugarLabs server in Music Blocks via the planet icon (https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/header-icons/planet-button.svg).

 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
