Drums
By Jennifer Kenny
  

1     Lily wanted to play a musical instrument. Her brother, Mike, played the piano. Her sisters, Julie and Paula, played the guitar and violin.
 
2     "What would you like to play?" her mom asked.
 
3     "The drums," Lily said.
 
4     "What makes you think you would like the drums?" her mom asked.
 
5     "We have been learning about them in music class," Lily said.
 
6     "What did you learn so far?" her mom asked.
 
7     "The drum has one or two heads. The head is held tightly across the shell. The shell is like a tube."
 
8     "That's right," Lily's mom said. "Do you know what kind of instrument the drum is?"
 
9     "It's called a percussion instrument," Lily said.
