HTML/Javascript Music Primer Tutorial

HTML/Javascript Music Primer Tutorial

We discovered some great HTML and Javascript code to help make music with a web application, and for this we want to thank and congratulate mudcube for some really great software.

In addition to that we found at The Glass Armonica a wonderfully useful table to use as a basis for the user to “make music”.

If you’ve learnt a musical instrument, you may have self-taught yourself by playing songs, maybe on a guitar, by working out the basic chords, but, here, today, we start the “music” ball rolling with some scales and arpeggios. If it was good enough for J.S. Bach, who are we mere mortals, to complain … whinge, maybe … but never complain. Learning the piano was given this book we just called “Hanon” which did a thorough job of making scale type practice more interesting, but personally, couldn’t wait to get to more melodic music.

Anyway, how do you feel about synthesised music? Guess a lot of people are okay with it, but there’ll be others who “try” to avoid it … but think it might be pretty hard to completely avoid it now with so much involvement with computers and such. Maybe we should do some research with the excellent article Best Synthesizer | Beginner Guitar HQ, and see some of this history according to Wikipedia, and what it has written regarding synthesiser (and while you are there, read about MIDI).

So the software, in its “innards” will be concerned with calculating sound frequencies … because it’s all about waves man person. If the music is long lasting, maybe a bit like a permanent wave, man person.

If you like, take a look at the HTML and Javascript code you could call MyScale.html or execute a live run.
