This workshop will culminate in a screening of their recorded work set to Disney film footage.
🌍 Disney Music in Storytelling Workshop: Explore how Disney theme parks use music to tell captivating stories and create immersive experiences for guests. Students will learn to analyze music from various Disney locations and movies, identifying musical elements like tempo, rhythms, melodies, and harmonies that enhance storytelling.
🎵 B&W Classical Academy Workshops & Group Activities: In addition to the Disney Imagination Campus sessions, students will engage in interactive and fun music-related activities throughout their trip. From creating original song ideas inspired by their surroundings to completing a Disney-themed music scavenger hunt in the parks, students will have the chance to express their creativity while exploring the magic of Walt Disney World.
