A word cloud generator is a fantastic tool for helping students respond to a given musical stimulus.
Many composition tasks in the subject Music will require students to respond to a teacher-provided stimulus OR find their own stimulus to begin writing their musical work. Further, they will also need to provide a Compositional Statement contextualising their artistic choices in response to the stimulus. Using a word cloud generator will allow students to develop their ideas more clearly and, therefore, better articulate their response to a stimulus.
An example of this would be if a teacher gave students a stimulus of a painting or piece of still art and asked students to develop a composition in response. Either individually or as a class, students can make dot points of different ideas, thoughts, and musings as they view the stimulus painting which can then by fed into a word cloud generator to show them where their focus or 'key points' are.
I'm very excited to use this in my own Video Game Music learning sequence!
