Student-facing video lessons.
Zero setup.
Students watch step-by-step video lessons that guide them through building original songs in Simple DAW — a free browser-based music creation tool. No music technology background required to run it.
Step-by-step video lessons
Each lesson walks students through the process at their own pace. Pause, rewind, repeat — the video does the teaching.
Runs entirely in the browser
Simple DAW requires no installation, no downloads, and no plugins. Any device with a modern web browser works.
No student logins needed
Students don’t need accounts of any kind. Teachers share a link or QR code — the class is ready to go instantly.
Real songs, not exercises
Students build original songs with real musical structure — melody, harmony, rhythm — from the very first lesson.
BYOD & computer lab ready
Works on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and school-managed devices. No IT configuration needed.
Extends Chrome Music Lab
A natural next step for students who’ve explored Chrome Music Lab Song Maker — same approachability, more musical depth.
Built for the reality
of music teaching.
Recreate with Simple DAW was designed for the moments when you need something that works — without prep, tech support, or prior experience.
