French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de musique à percussion
CONT

Avec des instruments de percussion à sons déterminés, les percussionnistes peuvent jouer des mélodies. Par exemple, chaque lame d'un marimba est associée à une note précise, donc le percussionniste n'a qu'à enchaîner les petits coups de baguettes pour créer une mélodie.
