Get ready for summer with The Swimming Song! Sing and dance along
Revisit our favorite game Freeze Dance with this video
A spectrogram is a picture of sound. When the pitch sounds higher or lower the picture changes.
You can see how different sounds look on the spectrogram. The first button on the bottom enables the microphone. You can speak or sing into it to see how the sound of your voice looks. Remember how we move our fingers up and down when we sing our warmups? Click on the pointing finger to draw on the spectrogram to see how that looks as you move the finger up and down on the screen. Then, click on the rest of the buttons to see what a whistle or a drum machine looks like.
