Description

This movie music unit is a great way to engage upper elementary and middle school students and get them composing, listening, analyzing, and thinking about music! Students will learn about the importance of music and sound in film, different music jobs within the film industry (especially focusing on foley artists and score composers), and add their own sound effects and soundtrack to a short film! This project can be done in a variety of ways to suit your classroom needs, including individual assignment, small group work, or full class activity, and there are several components that can be taught separately or together so you can pick and choose what you want to include.

This was a fun unit for my 6th grade general music students. We had a great discussion about some of their favorite movies and the different ways music enhances them.
