Music and Jupyter: A combo for creating collaborative narratives for teaching
Music engages and delights. Carol Willing explains how to explore and teach the basics of interactive computing and data science by combining music with Jupyter notebooks, using music21, a tool for computer-aided musicology, and Magenta, a TensorFlow project for making music with machine learning, to create collaborative narratives and publishing materials for teaching and learning.

Music engages and delights. Carol Willing explains how to explore and teach the basics of interactive computing and data science by combining music with the Jupyter Notebook, using music21, a tool for computer-aided musicology, and Magenta, a TensorFlow project for making music with machine learning, to create collaborative narratives and publishing materials for teaching and learning. Carol demonstrates how the combination of narrative, code, video, audio, and interactive widgets brings documentation and learning to life. Starting with a text document in a notebook, Carol walks you through incrementally adding functionality to create an interactive and collaborative document that would be equally suitable as project documentation, a brief paper for independent study, or a classroom activity.
