Incredibox is a great website to explore musical creation and entertainment. Incredibox invites you to become the conductor of a group of human beatbox. You can share your compositions with others from all over. It's a really fun website that even students will enjoy using.

Incredibox is a neat web-based app where seven loops at a time are available for students to use at a time. They may remove and add loops at any point, and there are unlocked special content available for certain combinations. This makes it seem like a game. Students can share their compositions, but unfortunately cannot download it without paying. Regardless, this is a fun activity where all the loops sound good-no matter what the combination.

Students can arrange an acapella mix using different beat boxers and vocals.

This is an excellent website that produces high levels of student engagement and buy-in. It allows students to "mix" their own music using pre-created beats, rhythms, and melodies.
