Evaluación
The class is built around independent work during class time, and my job as a teacher will be to occasionally check in with students throughout the class period.

Experiencia de clase

Note:  This is a four part, intensive course that is geared towards students with a strong desire to compose and learn about music.  For a more introductory course, find my hour long "Video Game Music Part 1" course.

In this four week class, students will learn how to compose their own video game music by emulating the musical styles of some of the greatest soundtracks.  Each week, we will start with listening sessions where we will study an iconic video game melody along with some music vocabulary.  I will guide students with questions (i.e. how fast is this music? how many parts do you hear at the same time?) and teach them new music vocabulary that will help them understand and deconstruct how the music was composed.  Then, it will be the students’ turn to write their own music!   This portion of class will operate as a “laboratory” setting where students will be working individually and I will “circle” the class to check in with students as needed to assist with questions and problems.  Towards the end of class, students will wrap up their compositions and share them with the other students!

No prior musical experience is required to be in this class, but we can always build upon any knowledge you bring to the class.  I will try and give extra challenges to those of us who have more musical expertise!  Our primary method of composing will be done using the website Mario Paint Music Composer, a free and easy to use piece of software that makes composing music a cinch.  However, I am open to students using other compositional tools to develop their music if they already have prior experience.  This includes using their own primary instrument (piano, guitar, etc) or other software (Garageband, Soundtrap, Google Music Lab, etc).  My advice would be to get in touch with me before the first class so we can figure out a plan if you would like to use tools outside of Mario Paint Music Composer.

Metas de aprendizaje

Students will analyze iconic video game melodies using musical vocabulary and concepts taught by the teacher.  Students will compose their own video game music that emulates the style of other VG melodies and share their compositions with the class.

Lista de útiles escolares
We will be using the website Mario Paint Music Composer as our primary means of music composition, which is a free piece of software available in a web browser.  No account is required and it is appropriate for all ages.  I will send this to students in the chat so they can easily click the link.  If you would like to explore this website before class, feel free to follow this link:  https://danielx.net/composer/#api-EH9cxjlXtpRKbUxZoSpbKMpn0G4Ev0hBklWuP6FvKbQ

Fuentes
This class is based on my own research into video game music from books ("A Composer's Guide to Game Music"), scholarly articles ("Nintendo and Telos: Will You Ever Reach the End?"), and YouTube channels (username "Scruffy"). I have broken down these complex sources for young students to understand.
