🎸🎹🥁🎵 Magical Music Band

Play Instruments with Just a Click!" This fun and interactive Scratch project is perfect for students who love music, animation, and coding. Kids can build their own band using simple drag-and-drop blocks. When users click on each instrument—keyboard, drums, trumpet, or guitar—they'll hear real instrument sounds. To make it more colorful, the background changes color whenever it is clicked.

This beginner-friendly project is a great way to learn about event blocks, sound blocks, broadcasting, backdrops, and sprite interaction. It's perfect for students in the age group of 8 to 14 and can be used in STEM and creative coding classrooms.
