It’s all about the story… about ME!
The more you understand this concept the more creative, more personal, and more artistic the project you will get from the students. I do not start with movie scoring or flash, is part of a three-year curriculum. Students must understand how to make music before any pictures are added.
Purpose, decide what you want
Each project has a specific purpose. If you are going to put it on the internet, that is one purpose. Showing a movie with music is another purpose. Making a DVD is an entirely different purpose and different presentation. The purpose should scream back at you.
Start small, let it grow!
Take baby steps, and let it grow. The smaller you start the more successful the project will be. A thirty-second presentation is fine.
Will you LET me, not will you TEACH me.
Have a project-based curriculum and keep my guidelines open and with NO rubric. You will have more creative projects outside the box. Let the students work.
Less is more. Musicians know that rests are as important as sound.
You know the crayon story. If I give you bag of crayons, you won’t use every color for the picture. Select a few loops and keep a mood.
Curriculum, start with the story, build to movie scoring
Make sure they are experts in each level before going on.
