Music with light sensors

Hi all. New to forums. Love arduino.
I have a school project. I have an idea about traffic and music. Imagine in a standard Highway, four lanes of traffic. Imagine each lane is assigned a musical note. As each car passes a predetermined point, that note assigned to that labs would be played. As cars pass in each lane, music, or noise lol, could be created.

So I'm trying to do a mockup of this using Matchbox cars and 4 sets of tracks. I'll install an ldr in each lane as a trigger for the musical note. I'll randomly send the toy cars down to make music. As they pass over the ldr it should trigger that note assigned to that ldr, or input, on the board.

What I need is your help on the code for this. I'm using an Uno board, 4 ldr, breadboard, and 4 10k ohm resistors. I am also running Windows 7 64bit. Also any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Take a look at the tutorials Jeremy Blum has made on YouTube.
On at least one he covers various sensors that may be of help.

Oh and I'm new too. :slight_smile:

Will do. Thanks.
