![]() Now count the beats per minute (bpm), or tempo, of the music.(An example of a minor-key song is "My Favorite Things" from the movie The Sound of Music, while "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is an example of a song typically sung in a major key.) Is the music in a minor or major key? A minor key might sound sadder or more serious to you, while a major key might sound more cheerful. Try to listen to the key of the music.Is the melody high-pitched like bird songs or low-pitched and deep-sounding? Are there rising or falling scales? (A rising scale is like the sequence "do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do" and a falling scale is the reverse.) Do you hear mostly percussion instruments such as the banging of drums or clash of cymbals, string instruments like violins or cellos, big brassy trumpets and other horns, or people singing? Feel free to jot down notes as you go along. Try to figure out which main musical instruments are being used. ![]() You may need to listen to the music a few times for each scene or song track-or for the full movie or composition. The following steps will help you analyze the music. Watch each eerie or scary movie scenes that you picked (or listen to each song track) while paying close attention to how the music sounds.You will want to listen to at least three songs. Alternatively, if you are using song tracks instead of a movie, get the music ready to play your favorite songs. To do this activity, you will want to listen to at least 20 seconds from at least three different eerie or scary scenes in the movie. If you have time you could plan on watching the entire movie, or you could find a few favorite scenes to watch. Get your Halloween movie ready to watch. ![]()
