    TunePad: Pick up code. Drop the Beat.

    Playbooks: collections of programmable instruments, text, and other multimedia`

    TunePad is an online platform for creating music with the Python programming language. TunePad projects combine playable musical instruments, text, lyrics, multimedia elements, and runnable segments of Python code that promotes playful learning. Somewhat like Jupyter notebooks, but for music.
    Our step-by-step tutorials are perfect for beginners, and our advanced production tools can power music making for experienced users. TunePad was created and developed by the Tangible Interaction Design and Learning (TIDAL) Lab at Northwestern University with funding from the National Science Foundation.

    We have iteratively developed the TunePad platform since 2018, testing with hundreds of middle school and high school learners in libraries, summer camps, and in-school enrichment programs. We have developed engaging curriculum and compiled resources that will enable you and your organization to successfully kickstart and run TunePad based STEAM programs.

    There are two TunePad bundles that are available as turnkey solutions. However, if you need further information, or if you need a custom bundle, please get in touch with us via email at support@tunepad.com.
