He believed that music and painting are very closely related: both come from the soul and mages have their own rhythm. In this post, I will focus on three of the experiments: Song Maker, Kandinsky and Rhythm. Each one has applications in music, science and mathematics.

He went to Munich, where he joined the art school and became a co-founder of the art group Phalanx. With Googles Chrome Music Labs you can draw music, learn arpeggios, make melodies. At first, he began to study law and economics and devoted himself to teaching, but soon after he terminated his studies. My son immediately got down to business “writing” his own song, which looks like this and sounds surprisingly catchy.The Russian painter Vasily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstract paintings, a graphic artist and an educator.

I’d all but given up that he would ever really love to create music until I stumbled upon the Chrome Music Lab. On the fifth day-music class day-he’d walk into school slowly, shoulders slumped, knowing that “boooooring music” loomed in his future. He once fidgeted so much during a school concert that he nearly fell off the top riser.īy first grade, he was excited to go to school four out of the five days a week. Except that all his buddies sang and dance while my son stood looking half-bored and half-miserable.

Imagine my surprise when, by age 2, he would scream “MAMAAAAA!” to get me to stop singing kid-song-classics like “The Wheels on the Bus.” Dude did not seem to like music (or my singing).
