Musical Instruments to Play
By: Sue Peterson
A musical instrument is a device created to make musical sounds.
Anything makes a sound can be used as a musical instrument.
The history of musical instruments goes back to the beginning of
culture. People first used instruments as ritual: a hunter might
use a
trumpet to signal a successful hunt; a drum might be used in a
religious ceremony. Vocabulary device melody signal historians
religious ceremony classify composed range of music performed
.Cultures later composed and performed a set of sounds called a
melody for entertainment. Musical instruments were needed.
Some historians report that the
earliest musical instrument was a simple flute. Many of the earliest musical
instruments were made from animal skins, bone, wood, and other non-durable
materials. Musical instruments were developed separately in the different
countries and regions of the world, but when civilizations shared information
amongst themselves, the development of instruments spread. For example,
cultures of North America, South America, and Central America used similar
instruments and shared these ideas of making instruments that were alike in some
way. Many different ways have been used to classify instruments over the years.
One way to classify instruments is to put them in groups by the range of music the
instruments can play. Another classification is to put them together by what they
are made out of. However, the most common method of grouping instruments is
by how they © Sue Peterson 2012 2 produce sounds. The academic study of
musical instruments is called organology. Woodwinds and brass (sometimes called
the “wind” instruments), string, percussion, electric, and keyboard are types
of instruments grouped according to how they are made and the range of music
and sounds they play. Woodwind and brass instruments include the trumpet,
clarinet, flute, oboe, trombone, tuba, and harmonica. Stringed instruments include
the banjo, guitar, harp, violin, and viola. Percussion instruments include the
cymbal, chime, timpani, drum, and tambourine. Electronic instruments are the
keyboard and the synthesizer. Keyboard instruments include the accordion, organ,
and piano. Maybe you will play an instrument someday. Will it be a woodwind or
brass, stringed, percussion, electronic or a keyboard instrument?
Q1.Multiple-Choice Questions (Put an X in front of the correct answer.)
1. The text mentions that musical instruments are made out of all of these materials except .
a. animal skin b. bone c. rock d. wood

MOUSE MADNESS
The tunnel was dark, but Marty knew his way through it. He used his powerful nose to find the passage out. It smelled like his favorite food: cheese!
When he got to the edge of the passage, Marty paused. His mother had lectured
him enough about dashing into the open without looking. It was dangerous. A zoo
patron could see him and start screaming. Then zookeepers might bring in
exterminators to shoo them out of their homes. There could be hawks around,
ready to grab them. Marty was not ready to be devoured by a hungry hawk. He had
to be careful.
He watched. He waited. Then slowly, carefully, silently he crept out a little
further. He could see the nachos and cheese under the bench, where someone had carelessly left it. Jackpot! He thought. It must have been the lunch rush now,
because there were not many people over by the bird exhibit. He waited until the few guests that were there turned away, and he ran to the nachos.
They smelled delicious. He would have liked to bring some back to his family, but they were too big for a mouse to carry. Marty took a bite. Mmmmmm! Just as he was about to take another bite, he saw a movement from the corner of his eye. Oh no! A hawk!
Marty ran as fast as he could back to the tunnel. It wasn’t far, and he was
desperately hoping that the hawk hadn’t seen him when it landed. He was almost
there, when he was suddenly lifted off the ground. Marty was terrified. His mother
had warned him about this all of his life. He should have been more aware, instead
of focused on the delicious nachos and cheese. Up they went, higher and higher.
The view of the zoo was fantastic, but Marty was too scared to appreciate it.
They were circling in the air, and Marty knew he had to do something, or he
was going to be the hawk’s lunch!
Think, think, THINK! He said to himself. The hawk’s talons were surrounding him, but he had an idea. There was one talon close to his face, so he took a deep breath, and bit the hawk! The hawk swerved, but didn’t let go. Marty did it again, clenching his little mouse jaws as hard as he possibly could!
Then, he was falling. Marty didn’t even have a chance to think about anything but
the feeling of falling, until, THUMP! He bounced off an umbrella. THUMP! He
bounced off another one, and went flying into the bushes. He landed softly in the
dirt. For a while, Marty stayed still. He could not believe that he was still alive. He
didn’t want
52
to move, in case the hawk came back. Finally, his breathing started to slow. He was sore from
hitting the ground, but he didn’t feel seriously hurt. Marty stood up, and made his way to the
closest tunnel. He was ready to go home. That was enough of an adventure for one day!

Simple sentence: A simple sentence is one independent clause that has
a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
Example: Sarah and Jessie are going swimming.
The frog jumped in the pond.
Compound sentence: A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two
independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or coordinating conjunction.
Example: This house is too expensive, and that house is too small.
They got there early, and they got really good seats.
Complex Sentences: A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one simple
sentence and one or more dependent clauses joined by subordinating
conjunction. A simple sentence can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent

Prepositional Phrases A preposition shows a relationship between ideas in a sentence. Prepositions usually answer
the questions where (i.e., there, beyond) or when (i.e., before, first), and tell you the
location of a person or an object in time or space. Prepositions often introduce a phrase that
has several parts.
EXAMPLE: The turtle leans on the bush.
The prepositional phrase in the sentence above consists of: the preposition on an article the
a noun (the object of the preposition. bush Prepositional phrases can also include possessive
nouns or possessive pronouns instead of the article. Adverbs or adjectives may also appear
in the prepositional phrase.
DIRECTIONS: Underline the prepositional phrase in each sentence.
