Or just have them use arbitrary binops in place of expr if you want to 
go that way.

In other words, give them a way to just hack away at a specific part 
of the object chain, then you can go in a lot of different directions.  
Like just showing them how + or - can change the key, to scaling the 
melody with / and *, and then really hacking away at it with % and 
random.  You could do the same thing but in terms of rhythm (or 
harmony, or texture).

Then have a contest to see who can get it to sound the furthest from the original melody.  Exploit their natural inclinations to exploit 
their natural inclinations.
