Create a Kids’ AI Music Album in 4 Simple Steps with Huawei Cloud ModelArts

01 Text-to-Melody: Turn Words into Music

Using Huawei Cloud ModelArts, you can generate music from a simple text description without setting up any infrastructure or writing code. ModelArts provides a one‑stop AI development platform with data preprocessing, interactive labeling, distributed training, automated model generation, and on‑demand deployment across edge, cloud, and device.

ModelArts offers CodeLab, an online IDE that connects directly to cloud compute and provides free daily compute quotas.

The tutorial uses the open‑source MusicGen model, which creates high‑quality 32 kHz audio from text or melody prompts by encoding audio into EnCodec tokens and decoding them back to waveforms.

Step-by-Step Guide

Prepare an account : Register a Huawei Cloud account and complete real‑name verification.

Open the tutorial : Click “Read the original article” and then “Run in ModelArts” to launch the CodeLab environment.

Switch the runtime : Choose the free GPU‑P100 quota (3 hours per day) and start the notebook.

Run the code and edit the prompt : Replace the default prompt (e.g., “a dreamy, child‑like song”) to generate a melody, then download the audio file.

ModelArts also provides a Gradio interface so you can share a web page where others can input prompts and generate custom tracks.

02 AI Poetry for Lyrics

Following the same steps, use the “AI Poetry” example to generate lyrical lines. After running the notebook, enter the first character of a desired line and the model produces a poem in seconds.

03 AI Image Generation for Album Covers

The final part uses the Stable Diffusion text‑to‑image model. By entering a descriptive prompt that matches the music’s mood, the model creates a unique album cover, which can be downloaded and shared.

Conclusion

From melody and lyrics to cover art, you can create a complete AI‑generated music album without musical expertise, simply by using ModelArts’ free resources.
