Key Change Challenge #2 (Miyazaki Film Ver.)
I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day and President's Day. I enjoyed some extra free time this weekend as my regular teaching was off. I watched one of the movies that inspired this week's challenge!
Today, I'm excited to share "Key Change Challenge #2! (Miyazaki Film ver.)" 🥳
(You can download the PDF, click track, and reference MIDI via this link)
Who loves Studio Ghibli films by Hayao Miyazaki? I do! 🙋🏻♀️ It's safe to say that all Japanese children grow up watching his classics such as My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, and Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind. My name "Chihiro" is more known in the U.S. and the world because of his film Spirited Away, thanks to Miyazaki! Music by Joe Hisaishi certainly elevates all of his films.
That's why I made this challenge featuring his music. This is a sequel to the "Key Change Challenge (holiday ver.)". If you enjoy this kind of challenge, check that one too.
