Sound and music
Pro Tip: Did you know Tynker has an interactive Block Coding Reference built right into the editor? What's super cool is that it's so convenient and even includes related code blocks for you to try. Best of all, you can drag and drop those code blocks straight into your coding canvas to use right away!
Simply click on the Help icon toward the top of the editor.
Then use the search bar to quickly look up "sound and music" or other blocks, topics, and glossary terms.
Drag code snippets straight into your coding canvas!
