If you’re looking for some inspiration for your next song, or maybe you just want to break the monotony of your day-to-day life, you might be interested to learn that Google has launched Chrome Music Web, a website designed for Music in Our Schools Month that basically lets people explore just how music works.

Users will be able to learn things about music such as basic concepts like chords and rhythm, and also more advanced topics like harmonics, oscillators, and so on. While it was designed for kids in mind, we suppose if you have absolutely no music theory background whatsoever, you may very well learn a thing or two from this feature.

According to Google, it seems that the idea behind Chrome Music Lab is meant to spark creativity, so whether you just want a break from work, or looking for inspiration to draw, maybe this could inspire you. “Exploring music can help spark curiosity in all kinds of ways. We hope these experiments inspire you – whether they give you a new perspective on music, make you more curious about math and science, or even make you think of new ways to teach or code.”

The best part is that it appears to be open-source, meaning that developers can take what Google has done and take it to the next level if they’re so inclined. “Just like today’s Clara Rockmore doodle, the experiments are all built with the Web Audio API, a freely-accessible, open web standard that lets developers create and manipulate sound right in the browser. We’re also providing open-source code so that others can build new experiments based on what we’ve started.” You can check it out by heading on over to the Chrome Music Lab’s website.
