Welcome to our music makers club. Today we meet Mia and Leo. They love making sounds. Last Saturday, Mia helped Mom bake cookies. She stirred thick batter. A soft sound came from her throat. She did not open her mouth. She said, "I am being humming to my favorite song!" Leo walked to the park. He blew air through his lips. A sharp sound pierced the air. He said, "I am being whistling to my walking tune!" Mia made gentle vibrations. Leo made clear notes. Both enjoyed music. See the difference? One is soft. One is sharp. Let us explore why.
