This Is Music: Drums

Make music with this introduction to the four instrument families: drums, horns, strings, and voice in this new series written and narrated by a world-renowned music educator.

What do a set of bongos, a tambourine, and a cooking pot have in common? They are all drums! This first introduction to instruments in the drum family begins with a simple explanation of what defines a drum. Young listeners are then invited on a global exploration of a variety of percussive instruments and are encouraged to find drums of their own in the world around them.

Each audiobook in the THIS IS MUSIC series features an interactive listening game called “What’s That Sound?” that allows young musicians to practice identifying instruments.
