KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Membranophones emit sound by the vibration of a stretched membrane; the prime examples are drums. The term percussion instrument refers to the fact that most idiophones and membranophones are sounded by being struck, although other playing methods include rubbing, shaking, plucking, and scraping.

Detailed explanation-2: -Striking the head of the drum changes its shape and compresses the air inside the shell. The compressed air presses on the bottom head and changes its shape. Then, these changes are transmitted to the drum shell and reflected back, and this action is repeated, creating a vibration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Striking: triangle, drums. Shaking: maracas, egg shakers, bells. Scraping: rhythm sticks, sand paper blocks, guiro/gourd.

Detailed explanation-4: -Percussion instruments produce sound through vibration, so if you hit, scrape, rub, or shake the instrument, it makes a sound!
