Learn about tambourines, jingles, and zills in a fun and simple way for young children aged 5. Explore the sounds and how they are used in music!
Okay, little buddy! Let’s learn about some fun music things:
A tambourine is a round instrument that looks like a flat drum. It has little shiny things on it called jingles. When you shake it or hit it, it makes a happy sound!
Jingles are the shiny parts on the tambourine that make the noise when you move the tambourine. They are like little bells. You can hear them when someone plays nice music!
Zills are small metal pieces that dancers sometimes wear on their fingers or feet. When they move, the zills make fun sounds just like jingles. It’s like dancing with music!
So, when you shake a tambourine with jingles, or dance with zills, you are making music that can be very lively and exciting! Let’s try shaking a tambourine together sometime!
