You will make

Do you listen to music on Spotify, Apple music, Alexa, or any other app? What if you could do the same on your micro:bit by creating your own music app?

In this project, you are going to make a music player that lets you choose different tunes to suit your mood.

Listening to music can improve your mood and make you feel happier! When you listen to music you enjoy, your brain releases a special ‘feel-good’ chemical. So, the next time you feel a little down, try putting on your favorite tunes and let the music boost your mood!

You will:

Use your micro:bit to play music

Use variables and logic to allow for a choice of melody

Use input buttons and gestures to control the playback

Share your project with others so they can try it out and you can get feedback
