Mario Star Theme - Video Game Piano Lesson - 1UP for you!
In this piano lesson, we cover the music that plays for 15 seconds or so in the Super Mario Brothers video game series when you get an “invincible star”. Video game music has been a great teaching tool for me. I find that nothing inspires young kids more than to learn a song they’ve heard a million times on their favorite video game.
The chords are Dmin7 and Cmaj7. The rhythms are almost a jazzy samba type pattern.
Most of the video game music from the mario series was written by koji kondo. His original venue was the video game console, but now his music is played by orchestras and bands all over the world!
