CS Coastal Hub Workshop - EarSketch Part 2: Intermediate Python & Music Creation

This intermediate EarSketch webinar is designed for grades 6–12 educators who have completed EarSketch Part 1 or already have experience using EarSketch and Python. Participants will move beyond basic track building and dive deeper into code-driven music creation.

Teachers will strengthen their Python skills by integrating variables, loops, functions, conditionals, and user input to create more dynamic, interactive music programs. The session will also explore advanced use of effects, mix automation, and creative control techniques, helping educators understand how code can shape musical structure, texture, and expression.

By the end of the webinar, participants will be prepared to design more complex EarSketch projects and confidently implement intermediate Python concepts in music-based coding lessons.

Audience: Grades 6-12 teachers

Instructor: Phil Polsinelli

Location: Online via Zoom
