Moving instruction online hasn’t stopped students in S&T’s Video Game Music Ensemble from practicing and performing music regularly. The ensemble, which now practices and plays via video chat programs, recently launched a YouTube channel.
The student-led performing arts group specializes in arranging and playing music from video games. Because musical pieces from games are not commonly distributed, the students transcribe the music into individual parts and re-create musical scores based on their research.
