Morse Code Music
- connecting rhythm and language with Morse Code -
Welcome to my Morse Code Music page! It includes: 1) an explanation on how to translate Morse Code into music; 2) an online Morse Code Music generator you can play right now on your computer; and 3) multimedia activities that integrate Morse Code with other areas of the curriculum! So, take a couple of minutes and learn more about Morse Code and the wonderful connections we can make between language and music.
Translating Morse Code into Music
With International Morse Code, each letter of the alphabet is represented by short and long sounds called dots and dashes.
Each dot, or short sound, will be played as an eighth note.

Each dash, or long sound, will be played as a quarter note. - dash long sound [img]http://www.philtulga.com/quarter%20note.jpg[/img] quarter note
Between each letter, there will be an eighth rest.

Each rhythm will be played in 4/4 time: four counts to a measure, with the quarter note getting one count. [img]http://www.philtulga.com/time%20signature.jpg[/img] time signature
