Day 2: Musical Instruments

Today we will use the skills we learned on our first day working with the Makey Makey to construct a musical instrument! This instrument can be one you like or one you invent today! It uses the same principles as the single button controller, it just has more buttons: one for each note you want to be able to play and one for ground, or Earth on the Makey Makey.

As you add buttons to your instrument you need to connect them to the different keys on the Makey Makey with alligator clips, just like you did with the Space key.
