Unit 1: Stomp

About this unit:

In this unit you will be performing and composing a 'Stomp' inspired ensemble. Stomp is all about rhythm, which is common to all cultures. Everyone feels rhythm, if only from the beating of their heart! It is the basis of all music. You will begin creating rhythmic patterns using your own body and then move on to using ordinary, everyday objects.

What's in it for me?

Rhythm is what gives music it's energy and movement - it is rhythm that drives the music forward. Developing a good sense of rhythm is key to great music making. Using everyday objects such as bins and brooms, the musicians in Stomp have proven how powerful and exciting rhythm is!
