Best Answer

Non-pitched percussion instruments are used for a few reasons, providing a beat and a cool backbone to the song. Pitched percussion instruments are usually used for harmony or the melody of a song, they don't have that backbeat that a snare or a bass has, and a snare and a bass don't have the melody to the song, such as a Marimba would.

What college should you go to when you want to create music but cant sing?

Most music colleges have more than one type of music. If you play a musical instrument such as clarinet, flute, or even tuba or percussion they should have a program and you should have a chance. There is also the chance you could be a conductor. Some of my pas conductors could not sing for the life of them but they made music by leading an orchestra.
