Fact #1. Depending on who you ask, the tambourine can be thought of as an amusing toy for young children, or a serious instrument for the accomplished musician. Some produce short, tinny sounds, while others produce both a rhythmic drumbeat as well as rich, clear notes.
Fact #2. Toy versions are a great way to introduce children to the basic concepts underlying all music, such as rhythm and melody. Many smaller options are perfectly suited for the smaller hands of a child. A person looking for a gift or teacher outfitting a musical classroom can select an instrument made from a range of different materials.
Fact #3. For the more serious musician, a basic option with jangles but without a head is suitable for adding some percussive accents to a song. These models are especially popular for the singer whose principal instrument is his or her voice. However, for anyone searching for a bonafide instrument that can be used to support the band and add another layer to the sound of a song, a unit with a taut membrane is a must.
Fact #4. While Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan may feature the most prominent mention of the instrument in recent memory, it's hardly the only occurrence of this elegantly simple object in recent music. It arguably enjoyed a heyday in the 1960s. It provided added sparkle to hits by bands like The Outsiders and The Beatles.
Fact #5. There was still plenty of tambourine playing throughout the later decades of the 1900s. Celebrated hits of the 1980s by The Cure and U2 used the crisp jangles of the instrument to help add texture and power to their composition, often allowing the jangles to work in concert with the snap of the snare drum.
