Each week, we'll journey through the soundscapes of various games, discovering the composers who bring these virtual worlds to life. From epic orchestral scores to catchy chiptunes, we’ll explore how music enhances storytelling, sets the mood, and creates unforgettable gaming experiences. In this class, students will get the opportunity to showcase their favorite video game music through a fun and engaging show-and-tell session. They’ll select a song they love, share it with the class, and explain what makes it special to them. We'll also work on mini-projects where students will research the game, the composer behind the music, and why the song resonates with them. By the end of this course, students will have a deeper appreciation for the art of video game music and the talented composers who create it. This class is perfect for young gamers who want to explore music in a unique and engaging way! 📝 What to Expect: Weekly discussions on different video game music and composers Interactive show-and-tell sessions where students present their favorite game music Mini-projects exploring games, musicians, and the impact of their work A supportive environment that fosters creativity and a love for music 🥳 Small Class Sizes: Our smaller class sizes guarantee quality attention given to each individual! Rather than getting lost inside a giant class or being isolated inside a Zoom breakout room, our teachers get to know every individual, and learners are given a chance to form true bonds of friendship. 🍎 Teacher Expertise: Both of our teachers have spent many years in the classroom teaching music appreciation, music theory, and music composition. They both received Bachelor's degrees in Music Education. If your child is interested in a 1:1 class with either Mr. Rizer or Miss Julie, please send us a message.
