Credits

Music Blocks is a fork of TurtleBlocksJS created by Walter Bender.

Devin Ulibarri has contributed functional and user-interface designs. Many of his contributions were inspired by the music education ideas, representations and practices (e.g. aspects of matrix, musical cups) developed and published by Larry Scripp with whom Devin studied at New England Conservatory and for whom he worked at Affron Scripp & Associates, LLC.

Center for Music and the Arts in Education (CMAIE)

Some of the graphics were contributed by Chie Yasuda.

Much of the initial coding of the fork from Turtle Blocks was done by Yash Khandelwal as part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2015. Hemant Kasat contributed to additional widgets as part of GSoC 2016. Additional contributions are being made by Tayba Wasim, Dinuka Tharangi Jayaweera, Prachi Agrawal, Cristina Del Puerto, and Hrishi Patel as part of GSoC 2017.

Many students contributed to the project as part of Google Code-in (2015–16, 2016–17, and 2017–2018).

A full list of contributors is available.
