A percussion instrument is any musical tool you hit, shake, or scrape to make sound.

The Rhythm Code

We use special music symbols to show how long each sound lasts.
A quarter note gets one steady beat and says "Ta." Two eighth notes share one beat and say "Ti-Ti."
A rest is a beat of complete silence where you freeze your hands and make no sound at all.
What happens when we line up these symbols to build a full musical sentence?
