Companion summary
Can you hum a sound and hold it as long as your breath goes? Singers and drummers mix long and short sounds to make every song feel exciting and alive. A lullaby uses lots of long, soft sounds, but a marching song is full of quick, short ones. When you finish, try clapping a pattern — some claps long, some short — and see what you create.
Listen!
Listen!
Say 'moo' for a long time. Now say 'tap' very fast. Did you hear the difference?
