2. Music built in melodies
2.1. Built in music
There are built-in melodies that can be found by typing
music.Melodies can be played using
music.play(melody) where the melody is music. and a melody name in capitals.from microbit import *
import music
music.play(music.POWER_UP)
The code below uses a for-loop to loop through each melody in a given
melodies_list and play it.from microbit import *
import music
melodies_list = [music.DADADADUM, music.POWER_DOWN]
for melody in melodies_list:
music.play(melody)
2.2. All Built in melodies
For a list of built-in melodies see: https://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/music.html
The code below plays all the melodies.
the A-button can be used to stop all sounds by first breaking out of the
for loop, then the while True loop.from microbit import *
import music
built_in_tunes = [music.DADADADUM, music.ENTERTAINER, music.PRELUDE,
music.ODE, music.NYAN, music.RINGTONE, music.FUNK, music.BLUES,

music.PYTHON, music.BADDY, music.CHASE, music.BA_DING,
music.WAWAWAWAA, music.JUMP_UP, music.JUMP_DOWN, music.POWER_UP,
music.POWER_DOWN]
while True:
