Learning about the percussion instruments! 6th grade The Percussion Family Learning about the percussion instruments! 6th grade Elizabeth Kelling

Some Percussion instruments Snare drum Bass drum Mallet instruments Timpani Drum set Cymbals Piano (believe it or not) Small Percussion (ex: triangle, tambourine) Elizabeth Kelling

What percussionists do! They play their instruments behind the rest of the band or orchestra. They generally rotate instruments between pieces. They must have basic skills on bass drum, snare drum, crash cymbals, and mallet instruments. They have to do a lot of instrument moving because no one owns their own set of all percussion instruments! Elizabeth Kelling

The Snare Drum Looks like this! – It is played with snare sticks like what are shown above. You should play it standing up with straight posture! Elizabeth Kelling

Where are Snare drums played? Marching Band Concert bands Symphonies Rock Bands (drum sets) Army bands Elizabeth Kelling

How to play a snare drum! Stand in front of the snare drum. Have sticks in each hand and both looking the same. Hit the snare drum between the middle and the edge to make the best sound. Make sure both hands sound the same as you strike the drum. Top part of hands should be facing up as you play. Elizabeth Kelling

The Mallet instruments Mallet instruments include marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones, and bells. They have the same set up as a keyboard, but are played with mallets instead of fingers. Mallet instruments are played with mallets which are sticks with yarn balls on the ends for better sound. A marimba looks like this- Elizabeth Kelling

How to play a mallet instrument! You must use a mallets to hit the different bars on the marimba (different mallets can make different sounds, so pick one you like!) To learn to play the instrument well just like any other instruments, you must put in lots of time to learn the different notes. Learn note names (for piano and mallet instruments) here! Elizabeth Kelling

The Timpani! This instrument consists of 5 different drums. These drums have pedals that allow you to change the pitch. The timpani are played like snare drums but you can sit down. A timpani looks like this- Elizabeth Kelling

The Bass Drum The bass drum can be played in concert bands and in marching band. They are sideways unlike the snare drum and timpani. To play a bass drum, you should hit between the center and the edge with a bass drum mallet. A marching bass drummer- Elizabeth Kelling

The piano Believe or not, the piano is a percussion instrument! (Learn more notes here!) It takes a lot of time to learn the different notes of the piano like it does for mallet instruments! It is good to learn the piano because it helps you play the mallets better! (the layout of the piano is the exact same for mallet instruments, they are just played differently) Test your theory here! Elizabeth Kelling

Cymbals! Crash cymbals Suspended cymbals You take two cymbals and crash them together You hold them with your hands as you play These are the kind of cymbals seen in marching band Suspended cymbals For this kind of cymbal, you roll one cymbal with mallets You play the cymbal on a stand while standing next to it Elizabeth Kelling

The Drum set! The drum set is a combination of the various drums of percussion. You play cymbals, bass drum, and snare all at the same time. It takes a lot of coordination to play all these at once. They are played often in jazz and rock bands. Learn more here! Elizabeth Kelling

Other percussion instruments There are lots of other instruments that are used in percussion. A few to know of are: Triangle Tambourine Cowbell Castanets Wood block Sleigh bells gong All these smaller instruments are used in concert bands and symphonies. They are just as important as any other percussion part! Elizabeth Kelling
