If you are trying to get your child or teenage son/daughter interested in classical or orchestral music, Beethoven or Mozart may not be a very good start. A person's brain remodelling happens intensively during adolescence, continuing into their mid-20s. They should be exposed to a range of activities which their brains can be stimulated by and in this case, music that has rapid speed, upbeat rhythms are what they respond to the most. Video game soundtracks, TV show & movie soundtracks can be a starting point for them to get interested in the orchestral scene.
1. Genshin Impact - Liyue OST
Genshin Impact is a role-playing free game developed and published by miHoYo. The game features a fantasy open-world environment and action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching. It is currently one of the most popular video games today and they are also known for their soundtracks. In the video, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra plays the battle background music which features Chinese instrumentals to reflect the East Asian inspired fantasy world 'Li Yue' in Genshin Impact.
