Lesson 1: What is STOMP?
What is STOMP?
Watch and listen to the extracts of STOMP and identify some
musical features (Remember DR SMITH). Try to look at the staging
of the pieces and comment on how this is effective.
D – DYNAMIC – How loud or quiet music is.
R – RHYTHM – How long or short notes are.
S – STRUCTURE – How music is laid out
M – MELODY- The main tune
I – INSTRUMENTATION-The instrument that used
T – TEMPO-how fast or slow music is
Timbre – way an instrument sound
H – HARMONY-chords more than one note played at the same time
