From Naruto to Sailor Moon, we will dive into the historical timeline of anime music and analyze some of the most action packed melodies!  Students will participate in creative listening activities, using audio clips to do imaginative listening activities and discover how the music is used to match scenes and characters.  I will empower students with basic music vocabulary to describe what they are hearing (fast/slow tempo, rising/falling pitch, instrumentation) and help them understand how the music gives meaning to character development and visual artistry.  No prior musical experience is required, but we can always build upon any knowledge you bring to the class!
