Music in Our Schools

March is Music in Our Schools month. Schools celebrate music. People all over the world make music. What are some of the instruments they play?

People in Latin America and Africa play maracas. Long ago, people made maracas with a vegetable shell. They filled the shell with dried beans. Today, maracas can be plastic, leather, or wood. Maracas help you keep the beat!

What Do You Think? What instrument would you like to play?
