Arduino + Light + Buzzer + One Button

What you are seeing in the picture above, is a button at the bottom that consists of conductive fabic on two sides of a spng that has holes cut in it. So, when u press the button, the two conductive fabrics touch each other and send a current through the conductive thread to the postivie and negativewires next to the arduino board.  Once a button is pressed a tune plays and our LED at the top of the picture lights up.

Arduino Trials - Button Light Up

Wearable Interactive - Piano Key Necktie Ideas

The left side of our tie will be the actual keys in which you press and hear a certain note.  Matt Ackerman and I have divided the tie space into 4 equal sections in which a cooresponding music note matches up with each equal spce.  Our initial idea is to have the music note to the right of the key that was struck light up.
