We have to do a string instrument and a percussion instrument.
Remind me what a scale is.
Do, re, mi... ...fa, so, la, ti, do.
Sound of Music.
Right, I saw that.
How does a percussion instrument work?
Well, you're banging on stuff.
It's vibrations.
Well, that's what sound is.
All a sound is is vibrations.
Joey's right.
When an object vibrates, it pushes the surrounding air molecules into one another, starting a chain reaction of collisions through the air.
These collisions travel in waves.
When they strike your eardrum, it vibrates.
This vibration is converted into electrical signals that your brain recognizes as sound.
Harp would be really cool.
But I'm not sure that the harp sound fits into rock.
Look, we have nothing drawn here.
Maybe we should just, like, get inspirations.
All right, let's rock and roll.
That is not an instrument.
