When it comes to film music, there are so many different resources out there. So many interviews, tips and tricks, analysis and so on. Yet, when I started planning my unit on film music, I felt that it was difficult to find small, practical assignments. As the population of my music classes is quite diverse, I wanted to create a framework, which would allow the students to do well even with little background knowledge. I also wanted to make sure that any kind of musical style would be acceptable.
After the first impression, I tried to get them to think of bigger ideas by listening to the fourth movement. The students shared their thoughts on Dotstorming.com. The fun part was to see how many students had the same idea by the amount of votes received.
Another fun aspect is working with clusters. They are easy to create, can be morphed, shaped, transposed and modified. Clusters immediately create an eerie feeling and students do not need a lot of music theory foundation to have fun with it. For additional help to write down the clusters might be the use of the virtual piano with a mark up function. I use Musicca in class quite often.
The next exercise is best done in pairs. Students look for two chords, which can be played one after another repeatedly. A bit like back and forward. One can use a DAW of choice, but if it has to go quickly, students can also use Gootar.com. Especially using the autoharp function with vibes on slow, create a great and easy background for improvisation.
Often students have a good idea for a motiv but do not know how to continue. A simple way to resolve this is to teach them the idea of antecedent and consequent. For teaching purposes, I am personally a fan of Musescore as it is free, not depending on the internet, relatively easy to use and yet very powerful. Pieces that work well are themes which are short and distinct.
This lovely website called Chordify has several songs, films and other short videos, where the use of chords is shown while playing the video. One should always check the chords as the chords are written by anybody who wants to upload them. However, it is a good source for students to understand the idea of harmonic rhythm and how the chords change with the action on screen.
Advanced students will love the idea of dissecting their favorite film music pieces. On YouTube, Brad Frey has created reduced scores, with added analysis and the video playing along. It is an incredible source for high quality music analysis.
In addition to the exercises mentioned above, we also worked on texture, rhythm, timbre and film music specific vocabulary, analysis and listening. As these components were not necessarily connected with music technology, they are not included in this article.
The final project consists of writing a new soundtrack to an existing copyright free animated short film. Unfortunately, these vary from country to country, so each teacher will have to do their own research on what is acceptable. Some of the webpages I found very useful are to be found on Openculture or at the site of Penn State University Libraries. Again, each teacher needs to decide which film is appropriate for the specific class. I usually pick 5-6 different films to shorten the time of selection.
I like to focus on easy ways to incorporate technology into what you are already doing in your music curriculum through a range of creative projects. I also run live workshops and have presented at countless conferences and other music education events.
