The Gaming Bard
This channel explores music in video games, and dives deeper into explaining why particular things make us feel or react the way they do. Music is a huge part of the video game experience, and learning some behind-the-scenes knowledge can make that experience even better! I've completed a degree in music theory pedagogy and written a dissertation about how music enhances immersion in video games, and I'm combining that here with my love of video games to bring you awesome content!
