Companion summary
Have you ever listened to a bee buzz and then heard a bird tweet? Sounds can be long or short, and that is how music tells its story. A drum goes short and quick, but a held note on a flute can last a long, long time. When you finish, try humming one long sound, then clap three quick short ones and feel the difference.

Say 'tap' out loud. Now say 'moooo'. Which one lasted longer? Sounds can be long or short!
