Companion summary
Did you know that music can tell a whole story without using any words at all? In films and cartoons, instruments help you feel if something is exciting, scary, or magical. A big, slow drumbeat can sound like a giant stomping, while a tiny triangle can sound like a fairy! When you finish, try listening to a favourite cartoon and guess which instrument is making each sound.
