Description
A Music Workshop Inspired by the Squid Game
This 5-hour immersive music appreciation and aural-theory workshop features six activities built around musical works from Squid Game, each highlighting key musical elements. Through lectures, listening tasks, interactive games, and performance activities, participants will explore phrase structures and cadences, contrasting rhythms and meters, folk melodies and pentatonic scales, folk-music rhythms, basic orchestration, contemporary minimalism, and how the film differentiates Folk and Western musical styles. By the end, students will be able to identify textures and characteristics in music and understand how Western composers and filmmakers collaborate to shape narrative and emotion through sound.
Teaching Objectives:
Musical Structure: participants will be able to indicate whether a phrase ends by listening to it.
Meter: participants will be able to identify the meter of a piece/song, whether it is in three or four, by listening to it.
Rhythm: participants will be able to relate to certain discussed rhythmic patterns using body movements.
Scale: participants will be able to describe whether a piece/song is using a diatonic scale or a pentatonic scale by listening to it.
Layering or Voices in music: participants will be able to differentiate Melody, Countermelody/inner voices and Bass Line in a piece/song by listening to it.
Musical effects in movies: participants will be able to describe how music gives its emotional value in movies by listening and discussing in this session.
