What are tone colors that percussion instruments make?
There are different kinds of percussion instruments, and they have different tone colors. A snare drum makes a high-pitched, sudden, and fairly sharp sound when hit with a drumstick. The timpani are tuned instruments, and usually hit with soft mallets rather than drumsticks, so their sound is more "rounded" and mellower, as well as much lower in pitch. The orchestra bells are pitched instruments, with keys made of metal, that are usually hit with fairly hard mallets, so the sound is somewhat sharp and bright; the xylophone has similar keys, but they are made of wood, so the sound when they are hit is somewhat - well, woodier. It is not as bright or as sharp as hitting metal, and usually softer in volume. Pianos are also percussion instruments, and they can make quite a few different tone colors.
How do you play xylophone?
to play a xylophone you need to know your music, if youdon't you need to learn it.. then you will need a: xylophone, 2 mallets (you can also called them sticks) - mallets are a plastic stick with a ball on the end. the balls are usually rubber..... then what you do is hit the note with the mallet and let the stick bounce and vibrate and it should sound lovely !!! a common mistake people make is they hold the stick up too high,, you should hold it about a fist length down ( hold onto the end of the stick then move your hand up to where your fist ended the first time ) also another mistake is you shouldn't have your thumb on top it should be wrapped around like your other fingers... try this.. if you have anymore questions ask me at ::: cassie_tm@hotmail.com i may not explain it well but that is sorta how its done......... :-)
