Step 1 : Create the scenario

Launch Scratch or mBlock
Delete the small character (scratch or panda) by right clicking and then Delete
Add the background of a concert stage (like the picture on the left)

Step 2 : Add instruments

Choose the instruments you want to add to the scene
Place them on the stage as shown in the picture

Step 3 : Add sounds to your instruments

Add the sounds you like to each instrument so that they make a sound when clicked. Use your imagination, you can for example:

Put different notes, one after the other, so that they will play at the same time
Put the notes and leave a pause between them, so they will play one at a time

Step 4 : Create your own music!!

Now it's your turn to create different melodies with these and other instruments!
