Artificial intelligence curriculum for primary and secondary schools
In the lesson, students learn to recognize unique tonal characteristics and timbre while using an app that can transform any sound into a musical instrument through artificial intelligence. The goal of the lesson is to show students that each musical instrument has its own unique sound characteristics and that these characteristics can not only be recognized but also replicated through machine learning.
45-90 minutes
Students already know the difference between sound and noise. They know the properties of sound (pitch, length, colour, loudness). Primary 5-9 and Secondary School
Teacher: projection equipment, presentation, computer, speakers.
Students: one or more melodic instruments and percussion instrument, equipment, external microphone.
Each musical instrument has its own unique sound characteristics.
Machine learning helps us to not only recognize these features, but also mimic them.
They creatively use modern technology in their work.
When listening to music, identify the different instruments.
After listening, verbally characterize the timbre of the different instruments.
Music Education
HV-9-1-05 navigates the stream of sounding music, approaches a piece of music as a logically formed whole
HV-9-1-01 uses their individual musical abilities and skills in musical activities
Memorization: Students learn concepts related to properties of sound and the basics of machine learning.
Analysis: They analyze the sound of musical instruments and compare original and transformed sounds.
Creation: They create musical works using AI.
