| (2) |
Advertisements
Solution
| Instrumental Music |
Vocal Music |
|
1) Instruments are used. |
The voice (vocal chords) are used. |
|
2) Some part of the body is used as a medium to produce the sound, but the final sound is produced by the instrument. |
Some parts of the body aid the production of sound (e.g., the stomach, lungs, vocal tract, mouth, etc.), but the final sound emerges through the mouth. |
|
3) The output of the instrument is more or less of the same type, although the way the musician plays can give it an individualistic flavour. |
Individual voices vary from the very low bass to the very high tenor. Hence the output varies and is very individualistic. |
|
4) An instrument can hardly be expected to sound like a voice (although some musicians try). |
The voice can be used to imitate the sound of an instrument. |
