micro:bit board doesn't have buzzer. If you want to make micro:bit sound you need to add external speaker or buzzer. Buzzer is integrate on micro:bit expansion board, you just need to inset micro:bit to expansion board.

You can also connect external buzzer/speaker if you want. micro:bit pin out music pin to P0.

The blocks in Musci class can be used to control music note and tone. It also has some musics already.

Create a new project, drag start melody block to on start. Choose a music and repeat times. You can choose ...in background to make music play in background.
