Playing Together

In a music group, each person has a part. They listen and keep time together to make one song.

In the picture

  1. A singer’s voice: one part in the music.
  2. Xylophone bars: struck to play a melody.
  3. Drum skin: tapped to keep a steady beat.
  4. Raised hand: a beat cue that everyone follows.

Examples

  • A school choir singing one song with different voice parts.
  • A band where guitar, drums and keyboard play together.
