​Carla’s Concert

​The school band are practicing their instruments for a concert. Carla plays the drums, but she is scared. “I don’t want to play in the concert,” she says to Mr. King, her teacher.

​

Mr. King gets an idea, “Listen.”

​

The children play their instruments, but Carla doesn’t play the drums. The music sounds awful. “Carla, we need you to keep the beat. Can you help?”

​

“Yes, I can,” says Carla.

The concert is wonderful. Everyone is dancing and clapping. Carla isn’t scared, she is happy now!
