Alan Menken is a very famous composer. He says that the music is one of the most important parts of a film and that often he is given the idea for a film and he creates the music first!
He believes that music scores should be iconic and that the music is the structure to a story, it is the glue that holds everything else together.
So to see if this is true we are going to do a Disney song quiz. You will listen to 10 seconds of a song and try to guess the name of the song and the film it is from.
Ask yourselves these questions
- Can I picture this film in my head?
- Can I remember what is happening while this song is playing?
- What character sings this song?

When you are finished, pick your favourite song. If this song was in a film, what would be happening while it played? Who would sing it?
