the correct answer.
Playing the drums
Beth Jones was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime
music club at school, which she only went to because it was cold and rainy. Also her friends were in the
playground playing hockey - a sport that Beth hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in
the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Beth. She thought it was cool that there were many
different shapes and sizes of drums, and she wanted to hit them, to see what they sounded like.
Now Beth is thirteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own YouTube channel and
gets over a million hits a year. What's amazing is that Beth hasn't ever been to a drum lesson. You can
learn anything on the internet, so I've never felt it was important for me to take classes, explains Beth.
Giving concerts wasn't easy for Beth at the beginning because usually she
only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home from school.
At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel
hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened.
So, does Beth enjoy being famous now? 'I didn't plan to be famous,' she says.
'All I want is to show others what I love. I don't think I'm someone special.
I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts.
