Create a new project. From the Music menu select Play tone , middle C. 

Place the play tone code block into the forever function. You will notice when you do this the icon to the right will show a pair of cables coming off the board to a headphone socket and a tone will begin playing.

Step 2
Now save the file. Select  the text field next to the save button and type in buttonAB. This will be the file name for the project. Go ahead and click the save button to the right of this text field. This will download the code to you computer saving it as a .hex file. Copy this file to the micro:bit, as the data is transfered to the micro:bit a light will flash showing that a transfer is in progress.
