I am stoked to give you access to my new, FREE In and Out Scratch Practice Tool which is helping my School of Scratch students make great progress with practicing linking their scratches together.
This visual tool will help you start linking scratches together.
Step 1
Select your starting base scratch from this dropdown:
Step 2
Select the scratch you want to practice combining it with – work you way through each scratch in this dropdown until you can do them all:
Examples
Starting with Baby in the step 1 drop down, you can practice linking the following scratches together:
- Baby > Drop
- Baby > Forward
- Baby > Reverse
- Baby > Stab
- Baby > Transformer
- Baby > Chirp
- Baby > Flare
- Baby > Crab
- Baby > Slice
- Baby > 2 Click Flare
- Baby > Twiddle
- Baby > 3 Click Flare
- Baby > Delayed 3 Click Flare
- Baby > Original Flare
- Baby > Echo Scratch
- Baby > Fades / Fading
- Baby > Drag
Video example
Here is student Adam aka Pineapple P practicing using the tool. Thanks for sharing with us Adam!
I worked on the first 4 combos:
Baby>Drop
Baby>Forward
Baby>Reverse
Baby>StabI practiced the first 2 individually than linked them together with some different timing/speed than did the next 2 individually than linked them together.
At the end I tried to link all 4 together which turned out to be a pretty cool sounding combo!
The Baby>Reverse>Baby>Stab is something I’ve never tried before and it has a really cool feel/sound. Similar to a boomerang but with a little pause in the middle and end. Really recommend trying out this tool!
