Music and Games

Music

1. Music is all about making beautiful sounds using our voices or special tools called musical instruments.
2. Music can be happy, like when you're dancing to a fun song. It can be calm, like the sound of a gentle breeze.
3. Sometimes it can even make us feel a little bit sad. This is because music has the power to show emotions.

Musical Instruments

Just like you use different colours to paint a picture, musicians use different sounds and musical instruments to create music. Each instrument has its own unique way of making sounds.

1. Some instruments make sounds when you strike them with your hands or sticks. Like drums, marimba, and xylophone.



2. Some instruments have strings that make sounds when you pluck them with your fingers. Like the guitar, violin, and cello.



3. Some instruments work by blowing air into them. When you blow air, they make beautiful sounds. Examples are the flute, clarinet, and saxophone.



4. Some instruments make sounds when you press their keys or buttons. The piano, organ, and accordion are like this. They have keys you press, and music comes out.
