Arts for Learning: Sound Shapers
Dave Young

A professional musician and composer leads students through the creation of a movie trailer soundtrack. Each session will engage students in creative decision-making and develop critical thinking while analyzing a text to compose music. The primary text is a fanciful movie trailer that associates the excitement of pop culture with the discipline of sound design. Students will make use of a variety of musical instruments (keyboards, guitars, percussion, etc.), including ones they create. (Also see A4L Unit 4 in Professional Development section)
