Students can use storytelling as a source of inspiration to create original music. In this project, students will use existing illustrations from a children’s story to create a new story, complete with a soundtrack and recorded narrations. In this activity, the grade four to nine students must synthesize their own narrative from preexisting material. Students use a DAW, visual art production program, and film editing program to complete their project. By using music and their voice to enhance their chosen story, students will gain confidence in their own creative voice and deepen their understanding of the communicative capacities of sound.
