Structural features of the tongue drum
As mentioned above, the tongue drum was first made with the help of an almost hollow surface of a gas canister, but now its shape has changed and it has a structure similar to a hang drum. This instrument is a very young instrument that was first introduced to the world in 2007. The maker of the instrument was a woman who was interested in the hang drum but could not afford it due to financial difficulties, so she made an alternative. The current structure of the instrument is almost similar to the hang drum, except that it is much smaller in size. Also, unlike the hang drum, which is played by hand, this instrument is played with both the beat of the finger and the drum sticks. Unlike the hand-made hang drum, today's tongue drums are made with machines. This instrument has a lot of resonance and its notes vary from eight to ten depending on the skill of the musician. The tongue drum is tuned only once and will rarely need to be tuned again after that.
Music education in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has been at the forefront of Scottish classical, folk, pop, and punk scenes for many years. It is home to Scotland's oldest concert venue, St. Cecilia Hall which took classical music out of private venues and opened it to the public in the late 18th century. The Ceilidh Folk Festival, held in 1951 at the Oddfellows Hall (now McSurrells), is recognized as an event that has begun to revive English traditional music. Edinburgh's most important musicians include Davey John Stone, Shirley Manson, Paddy Milner, Vistas, Steve Manson, Unicorn Kid, and more. The Edinburgh International Music Festival is also held annually in this city, which is one of the most important music festivals in the United Kingdom.
