This paper presents an interactive graphical programming
environment for EarSketch, using Blockly and Web Audio
API. This visual programming element sidesteps syntac-
tical challenges common to learning text-based languages,
thereby targeting a wider range of users in both informal
and academic settings. The implementation allows seamless
integration with the existing EarSketch web environment,
saving block-based code to the cloud as well as exporting it to Python and JavaScript.
