Look at the white board... listed are numerous popular songs.  Go to Google and search for the song title + "sheet music" or "choral sheet music" + or "vocal arrangement".  Can you find actual music notation from which a choir could read?

We learned that synthesizers can produce a wide range of sounds.  Synthesizers can imitate the sounds of other instruments or produce entirely new sounds.  Electronic music is music that is made from electronic instruments and other electronic technology.  Synthesizers and computers also play a part in the production of electronic music.

Electronic music developed in the early 1900s.  Since then the composition of electronic music has exploded!  Now electronic music ranges from purely experimental sound to electronic dance music.

The button below will take you to an electronic music guide website.  The many, many, many avenues of electronic music can be explored on this site.  Have fun listening!!

This piece was used in class as an example of electronic music.  

There is also a dance that goes with it....
