## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to make a light beatbox music player using the light sensor. We will be learning how to code musical notes using light level, a local variable, conditionals, on button pressed as well as simple commands such as ring tone and rest.

## Objectives

* learn how to control the light sensor on the BBC micro:bit
* learn how to code music on the BBC micro:bit
