As an artform, music elicits emotional responses, and Metroid soundtracks are no exception. With a traditional music theory lesson centered around Metroid, learn how the music is orchestrated to enhance the gameplay of the series. These pieces become more than just a soundtrack, but an element of the environment itself as a “living thing” in the game.
