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.

History of English Music
Music exists in England, even in the oldest recorded historical parts of this region. English composers played an important role in many of the major early music movements in Europe and the world. Some of the foundations of national and international classical music have been laid in this country. British island musicians developed some of the most famous and well-known forms of music in the world, including Celtic chant, the Contenance Angloise, the rota, polyphonic votive antiphons, and the carol in the medieval era. England has a long and varied history of folk music that dates back at least to the Middle Ages and includes many forms of music, song, and dance. Popular English music began in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the advent of ballads. Technological, economic, and social changes led to the emergence of new forms of music in the twentieth century, including wind instruments, which produced a common form of classical music. After that, various music halls were created, such as Wembley, Apollo, Astoria London, etc., which had a great contribution to the development of the country's music. In the 1930s, the influence of American jazz led to the formation of British dance groups. Popular forms of music, including folk, jazz, rap/hip hop, pop, and rock, flourished, especially in twentieth-century Britain. The most important British contribution to popular music during the twentieth century was the development of rock music. The rise of the punk style also occurred during the 1970s. Other subgenres of rock that were invented or fundamentally changed by the British include blues-rock, ska, British folk-rock, and folk punk. After that, it was the turn of pop music in this country, which was able to have a transformative effect on world music.
