I've been toying with a lot of different ideas for my project, and I'm really having a hard time deciding, though it's probably about time that I just get going and start building the thing. I know that I want it to involve Flash because that's the software application I really want to learn the most. I'd also like the project to involve music in some form or fashion because that's just something that interests me. In particular, I'm interested in the concept of helping users create music without having to know how to play music. Learning to play music is like learning another language, and that can be a daunting task to a lot of potential music performers. If you get students/kids/whomever excited about the very notion that creating music or art is fulfilling then you can lead them into the direction of formally creating music.
The reason I took EDIT 6190 again, however, was partially to "let her rip," so to speak and do something creative and maybe a little lacking in a specific purpose. I'm attracted to projects that are educational by accident or as a by-product, the kind of instruction where the learners remark afterwards, "I just thought we were having fun!" That's a lofty goal, and plenty of software developers with more resources and experience than I do have failed at creating that kind of instructional material. This is the kind of thing I hope to do one day.
We'll see where this is headed...right now I have the idea of a dollhouse that can be populated with different musical objects like squeaky chairs, noisy blenders, and singing portraits. I see it in my head, but I have no idea how to get it to work on the screen.
