Instruments that play notes and instruments that make sounds
Age 6 · Music
A xylophone can play high notes and low notes, like a little song. A drum, a tambourine and a triangle go bang, shake or ting, but they don’t play different notes.

Examples
- Tapping the long bar and then the short bar of a xylophone: the long bar sounds low, the short bar sounds high.
- Shaking a tambourine at a birthday party: it jingles, but you can’t play a tune on it.
Key takeaways
- Some instruments, like the xylophone, play notes that go up and down.
- Drums, tambourines and triangles make sounds without set notes.
