Document Summary
Idio the body: the whole body of the instrument vibrates, examples: Guiro (scraper) -- frog-shaped one seen with sticks that rubs spines on back. Harmonic series: acoustic basis of most instruments. The first symbol in the line is a stylized f, indicating where the note f is located -- the bass clef. The next symbol on the line is a stylized g, indicating where the note g is located -- the treble clef. When is gets faster = edge vibrated aerophones (= flutes), harps. Idiophone = tympani, thunder sheet: meter: triple, tempo. Instrument and tempo changes depend on the music. Meter stays the same but the tempo, instrumentation changed.
