主題:打擊樂 (Percussion)
音樂可以透過各種不同樂器來演奏,其中,打擊樂器是音樂的靈魂人物,今天就讓我們一起了解這類樂器吧!
The percussion family is the largest in the orchestra.
Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped.
It's not easy to be a percussionist because it takes a lot of practice to hit an instrument with the right amount of strength, in the right place and at the right time.
Some percussion instruments are tuned and can sound different notes, like the xylophone or timpani, and some are untuned with no definite pitch, like the bass drum, cymbals or castanets.
Percussion instruments keep the rhythm, make special sounds and add excitement and color.
