Hi friends!
Next class we will be finishing up our video game songs and box art. Please use your remote time this week to work on your song or begin making your art for your video game box. If you still need to finish your song make sure to do that before our next class so I can make a QR code for you. The form to submit your song is below. If you work on the drawing portion of the project make sure to bring your work with you next class. See you soon!

Hi everyone!
I hope you had an awesome vacation! Before we left, we learned about the history of video game music and how important the role of music in a video game is. It sets the mood and really helps make the game fun to play! Your job this week is to begin thinking of a video game idea. Please fill out the Google Form below. When I see you in-person next week we'll start creating the soundtracks to the games that you create. Make sure to read all of the directions before you fill out the Google Form! I'm looking forward to reading about your games!
week 31
Hi Friends!
Do you have a basketball handy? Or any other type of bouncing ball? In this video you are going to be bouncing a ball to the rhythms that come up on the screen. If you don't have a bouncing ball you could do this by tossing a piece of crumpled paper in the air, making sure to hold the paper and time your tosses to match the rhythms shown. Watch the video from the very beginning to learn all of the rhythms. Make sure to hold your pall or piece of paper for all of the beats!

Hi everyone!
For your assignment this week, click on the link below. Listen to the song I've created. Do you recognize it? Once you've figured it out I want you to create a "remix" of your own using the song/template below. A remix is when a song has been altered from it's original state by adding beats, other notes or other creative ideas. It should still be recognizable but with your own creative touch. Once you've finished fill out the google form below. Have fun!
