Once you have downloaded the music file onto your computer, add it to your Scratch project by uploading it as a new sound.
You can upload sound files into your project. To upload a sound file follow these steps:
The new sound file will upload into your project and be available to use with the sprite that you added it to.
Now let's add some code to play the music when we click on the green flag.
Add the following code:
when green flag clicked
start sound (Shine On - Jeremy Black v)
When you click on the green flag the music should start playing.
You can be creative as you want for the visual part of your music video. Here is one idea but you can come up with and try and do your own as well!
Add some backdrops from the backdrop library to your project and then add the following code to switch onto a new backdrop every 3 seconds. Don't forget to delete the blank backdrop called 'backdrop1'.
when green flag clicked
start sound (Shine On - Jeremy Black v)
forever
wait (3) seconds
next backdrop
end
Choose a couple of sprites from the sprite library and program each one to do different things.

Change colour
