4. Bongos

Similar to large drums, a bongo is a small drum that is played with both hands. You can place it between your knees and beat it rhythmically to produce percussion or sounds that will form the basis of accompanying music. Any child or adult can learn to play the bongos by tapping or beating the instrument. It is usually not as loud or impractical as a complete drum kit, but it can produce a compact experience that is soothing to the ear and appropriate for good music.

The bongo can be learned or played at home and in the church to accompany other musical instruments. Playing it with fervor will provide old people with the physical exercise they need to stay fit and healthy, and it will also serve to keep them mentally fit and expressive for a social life.
