About EarSketch
EarSketch is a code-to-compose platform where students of all ages learn to code by remixing music. Students connect computational thinking with music and music technology by manipulating loops, composing beats, and applying effects using a multi-track digital audio workstation (DAW) and all while coding in the platform's code editor using Python or JavaScript.
​
Since launching in 2011, EarSketch's K-12 education team developed tutorials, curriculum, and trainings to support K-12 learning. The EarSketch Teachers website holds a repository of resources for K-12 teachers to engage their students. Additionally, EarSketch's K-12 education team works in partnership with various organizations to sponsor competitions!
