The Maya were skilled musicians and dancers, playing wooden flutes, rattles, and shakers. Their dances told stories through movements. The Maya were also talented sculptors, using materials like wood, stucco, and jade. Funerals only included drums and flutes as instruments. Tortoiseshells and no stringed instruments were part of their culture.
