Dance
Our body can perform some actions such as
rotating, bending, stretching, jumping, and turning.
With all these physical actions, we can create a number
of body movements.
Every culture emphasises certain features in
its dance styles. For example,
lilin
dance from West
Sumatra, has some candles carried by the dancer, or
topeng
dance from Betawi, uses a mask to perform its
dance. And there are many more.
Basically, our body has the potential to be
developed, usually through long periods of special
training. For example, in ballet, the ballerina exercises
to rotate, or turn out the legs at the hips and many
more.

Musical Instruments
There are
À
ve main groups of musical instruments. They are stringed
instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, keyboard
instruments, and electronic instruments.
Stringed instruments make tones when the player makes one or more
string vibrate. The violin, cello, and guitar are stringed instruments.
Wind instruments are played by blowing into or through a tube.
The player controls the sound by placing the
À
ngers on holes in the
instrument or on keys that cover holes, or by pressing valves that make
the tube longer or shorter. The
Á
ute, trumpet and saxophone are wind
instruments.
Percussion instruments have keys connected with a part that makes
tones. The musician presses the keys to make sounds. The piano, harp,
and pipe organ are keyboard instruments.
Electronic instruments use electricity to make sounds or to make
the sounds louder. Electric guitars, synthesizers, electronic pianos, and
electronic organs are electronic instruments.
