Procedure

1. Access https://suno.com/ 

2. Select “Create” from the left-side menu. 

3. A simple way to get started is to type in a short description (up to 200 words) of the song you want to create. 

   This feature can be used for a quick summary of a topic or to just create the mood for your lesson. 

4. If you hit the toggle for “Custom” you are presented with more options for specific creativity. 

5. Lyrics: Type in your own lyrics (up to 3,000 words) or select “Make Random Lyrics” to jumpstart the brainstorming process. 

6. Style of Music: Select options at the bottom or describe the style of music or tone you want your song to sound like. This can be used to set the historical mood for a lesson. For example, if you’re reading about the American Revolution you can have Suno create a playlist of music from that era. 

7. Title: Enter a title to remember your work by. Then hit “Create.”

8. For either option (custom or not), you can toggle “Instrumental” and you’ll get just music without lyrics. 

Suggested Uses:

1. Students can use Suno to create summaries of lessons and use the songs as a study guide. 

2. For an ELA class, ask students to create a playlist for specific characters you’re reading about and then analyze what the AI created for accuracy or explain what they would have done differently. 

3. For a Music class, ask students to explore different genres of music and practice mixing or creating lyrics.
