[Microbit-Python] Is Bach Prelude in C the right example for the musical API?

[Nicholas H.Tollervey]

Hi,

Where are you seeing this tutorial? I designed the music API and I've
not written a tutorial for it. There's a relatively old music example
but that can be easily changed.

Totally agree about the music being engaging and appropriate for the
target year group.
