PRESS START transports us inside the bright, pixelated world of video games! When the famous characters we know and love run out of lives, they decide to put on a musical fundraiser that will help them raise gold rings and play on. Through hilarious and heartfelt musical numbers we see the heroes, villains and sidekicks like we’ve never seen them before. But when things go terribly awry, it’s the quiet sidekick Little Mushroom who must find the hero within to help save the day!
Students will develop the musician within by exploring the foundations of rhythm, harmony, and performance.
In this class we will explore the topics of basics rhythm, melodic ideas and harmony. We will also learn how to express our ideas through music. Our final outcome will be to create and perform our original compositions!
