### 1. Make your drums
Take your 4 piezo buzzers and attach a ring of Sugru (or other modelling material) as shown in the picture.
This will increase the flexibility and resonance of the sensors. Let the sugru set.

### 2. Connect the circuit
Repeat for each of your drums. It is easiest to use a bread board for making your circuit.
Look at the picture for an example.

### 1. Make your guitar
Grab your strip potentiomater, a piece of thin card, and a pencil.
Signal will come from the centre pin, so connect that to one of your analogue inputs and you should be good to go.

### 3. Program the Arduino
Find a maraca / shaker sound and upload to Scratch.
+## Python glueware
+
+Download the music-maker-hander.py file from the repository. Run it with
+ python music-maker-handler.py
+This program sets up a listener for each instrument. When it detects that an instrument has been played, it sends a couple of signals to Scratch.
+The first signal appears in Scratch as a sensor value and is the volume (for drums), pitch (for the guitar), or ignored (for the maracas).
+The second signal is a broadcast message that makes Scratch play the sound in the instrument.
+
+
+## Scratch front end
+
+The Scratch file, music-maker, makes the sounds. It responds to the signals from the Python handler above by playing the appropriate sounds. It also does some visual feedback for the insturments.
