In these lessons we will start by exploring the silent movies of the1890’s and travel through time, all the way to modern-day soundtracks for epic blockbusters! We’ll look at different musical techniques, and how they can be used to perfectly capture the right mood. For example, a violin could sound great alongside a romantic scene, or it could send shivers down your spine in an eerie, spooky plot, or even as the backdrop on-board a fearless pirate ship!

This course is filled with fun facts, quizzes, and all of your favourite theme songs. You’ll even get to create your own soundtrack to a movie clip using any instruments you might already have, or even using cool sounding objects lying around your house. Who knew a ruler and a tin-can could be so musical!

All abilities welcome, just make sure you bring your imagination, creativity… and maybe a ruler!
