Hedy is a gradual programming language to teach children programming. Gradual languages use different language levels, where each level adds new concepts and syntactic complexity. At the end of the Hedy level sequence, kids master a subset of syntactically valid Python.
When working with a child yesterday it was very clear she didn't understand how the musical notes work as she never did anything with musical notes before. She had a lot of fun playing random notes, but she wouldn't be able to play an existing tune.
Now I've come up with an idea, but i have no clue how much work this is, so if it's really hard, please ignore this.
Would it be possible to add a little piano image to the music adventures with clickable keys with the notes written on them, so that the students can hear what "D6" or "G8" actually means?
