This is a little project created by my piano students the week of Halloween, 2009. We took Dav Pilkey's book Dogzilla and created all the audio to accompany it. Each student read a page or two of narration, then set out to create the musical mood. Each part was accomplished in less than a half hour. I coached them as a producer would, asking for scarey music, or chase music, or wafting barbecue music, whatever the scene would call for. Probably my number one comment was "too nice! Find something nastier!"
I thought the students did a fantastic job - if I do say so myself. :)
