Creative Souls Music Class

A great way to end a unit on rhythm, or a unit unto itself, this bundle includes Stomp Out Loud movie questions, a teacher guide and answer key, and Stomp project materials to guide you all along the way. The complete bundle will take 5 - 7 5o-minute class periods.

Need an easy substitute activity? Or, want to prepare your class to create their own "Stomp" music composition? (Find the "Stomp Project" in my store, as well! ) Use this "Stomp Out Loud" movie question sheet and guide to help inspire students, and hone their listening skills. This is great for 6th and 7th grade students. It can even be used in a high school general music class. I have used it at all of these levels, and students always enjoy the movie.

Get your music class creating their own music in a fun, low-key way! Begin by showing the class "Stomp Out Loud" and then use my movie questions and guide, also available in my shop, as preparation for launching your student into a fun project. Not only do students build musical skills, but they also hone their teamwork and performance skills.

End a unit on instruments by allowing students to build their own, and create music for their new instrument. Framed as a project for a company, groups create instruments from found objects, compose for them, and present them to the class. Turn it into a friendly competition or give out paper plate awards at the end to recognize growth and achievement in cooperation, creativity and more.

Explore musical theater history, film history, dance and enjoy a great film all at once. This is perfect for leaving for a substitute music teacher, or use in a theater, film, or music class.

Prior to watching movies discuss expected behaviors with your class and have them write down the rules to help them internalize the expectations.
