watched little babies play with sound? They shriek and squeal as they experiment with their voices. As they grow older‚ they blow bubbles in their milk with a straw and laugh at the funny sound it makes‚ or beat on pots and pans to see what kinds of clinks and clanks they can get out of them. Older still‚ they put cards in the spokes of their bikes‚ just to enjoy the rat-a-tat sounds as the wheels go round. Like most children‚ musicians love to play with sounds‚ too.
