Simple little doohicky for music exploration

I am a member of VSTE (Virginia Society for Technology in Education) which is a free organization.  I also follow VSTE on Twitter, and that’s how I found out about this cool little thing on the PBS website.  It allows one to experiment with the length and width of strings and to arrange different strings to create a composition.  It is very IWB friendly and would also be a good exploration activity in a lab setting (although I don’t think it would hold kids for a whole class period, it might work well as “bell work”.)

Enjoy!
