0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Dad.- Yes?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Do you have a favourite musical instrument?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Well, I love hearing your mum sing along to the radio.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57That's not a musical instrument.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Kobi's guitar sounds pretty cool.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05But, right now, I think this kitchen funnel is my favourite.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06What?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- HE SINGS INTO THE FUNNEL - # Do-do-do-do-do... #
0:01:13 > 0:01:16You and me could make the perfect kitchen funnel band.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Your turn.- Dad, I need to know.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Why don't you come with me? I've got an idea that can help you decide.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26OK.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Oh, hello.- Hiya.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We were just coming to see you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We wanted to ask a favour.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Well, go on.- It's about musical instruments.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Yes. Bella's thinking about learning a musical instrument.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Oh, yeah. We saw the letter from school about that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54There's many different instruments to choose from.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And I'm having trouble choosing.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Well, as my old mum used to say, she who has a choice has...
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Trouble.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- You had any ideas yet?- Oh, yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08There's this instrument they showed us in class.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Like a small guitar you put under your neck.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- A violin.- Yes, a violin.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I've seen one of those.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19VIOLIN PLAYS
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You take that stick and put it on the strings.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29My dad said it sounds like a howling cat...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33..but it sounds nothing like a cat or howling.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37I think the violin sounds like an orchestra,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42all dressed in black and white, but the violin sounds sad.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- I think a harp sounds much happier. - HARP PLAYS
0:02:47 > 0:02:52A harp sounds like a silvery princess or raindrops.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Plink, plink, plink, plink.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So you don't want to play the violin?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01No, and I don't think I want to play the harp either.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- OK.- Mr Stewart suggested at school I should try the recorder.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Or the flute.- I know what that sounds like.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It sounds like someone whistling.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15SHE WHISTLES
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Oh, yes. Or like the noise of birds flying up in the sky.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23FLUTE PLAYS
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Singing birds, going higher
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and higher, in a blue sky.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Or sitting in a tree,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36being all happy and making tweeting noises at my window.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I like the flute.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Good choice.- Great.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46But...I'm not sure.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I think I prefer the didgeridoo.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53A didgeridoo, from Australia?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Yes.- A didgeri-what?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00It's a big piece of hollow wood and you blow into it like...
0:04:02 > 0:04:06...a super huge tube from the kitchen roll.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09HE IMITATES A DIDGERIDOO
0:04:10 > 0:04:11HE COUGHS
0:04:12 > 0:04:15But they don't teach didgeridoo at school.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Oh.- Oh, that sounded like fun.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So, what can we do to help?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I was wondering if we could look at your guitar?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Maybe that would be the instrument for Bella.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Certainly. It's over at the flat.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Bella loves listening to your songs when you play down at your shed.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, let's go, then. We'll give it a try.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now, careful, Bella.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's good but it sounds a bit like the uku...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Ukulele? We saw Year 3 play those.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55That's an electric guitar.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59If you put your fingers on different frets, you get different sounds.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Can you play tunes on it? - Yes.- Of course.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Show us, Dad.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08All right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Here we go.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15HE PLAYS
0:05:23 > 0:05:26# There are so many instruments
0:05:26 > 0:05:27# That you can play

0:05:39 > 0:05:42# If the rhythm it takes root
0:05:42 > 0:05:44# Toot, toot, toot
0:05:45 > 0:05:47# Everybody sing along

0:06:02 > 0:06:04# Music is so much fun. #
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Yeah.- That's lovely.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Does it go louder?
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Yes, if you turn those knobs, you can get different sounds too.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24THE NOTES RASP AND DISTORT
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Wow!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Er, Bella.- Yes, Mum?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You think you might enjoy the guitar?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The instrument I want to play is definitely loud.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39But...I'm still not sure.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42What about...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45..the spoons?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51No, that's silly.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56A bit like your dad suggesting to play the kitchen funnel.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Ooh!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- WHISPERS:- What about the drums?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Oh, the drum.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03That's a good idea.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10You know, there are many different types of drum, not just the djembe.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14HE DRUMS A RHYTHM
0:07:16 > 0:07:20In fact, Grandma Zainab loves to listen to the dhol.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22A FASTER RHYTHM PLAYS
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Or there are samba drums, like the samba band we saw at the carnival.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29They were amazing.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Everyone was dancing. - SAMBA MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Bella, there are kit drums like you see in a rock band.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38DRUMS PLAY A ROCK BEAT
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But...a drum's not right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Then what do you want to play?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Yes, do you have something in mind?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yes.- Does it have a name?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Er...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03What does it look like?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I don't know, but it sounds like...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- DISTANT BRASS INSTRUMENT That's it!- That's what?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Listen, I can hear it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16That's the sound.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I knew I'd heard it before, and now I can hear it again.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23That's the sound I want to make with my music instrument.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26There's a musical sound coming from somewhere?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And we need to find out what it is.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Yes.- Then let's go outside and find out where it's coming from.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34OK, come on, then.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41MUSIC GETS LOUDER AND MORE UPBEAT
0:08:45 > 0:08:50It's getting louder. I just can't hear where it's coming from.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Then we have to listen harder.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55What is it?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I think we've got a musical mystery.
0:09:00 > 0:09:07- Mystery?- Yes, how can we find out where the sound's coming from?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Use our ears.- And follow the sound.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11OK.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Bye, Mum. See you later.- Bye.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Bye, Katie.- Bye, Katie.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's quieter.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Ah-ha!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- So what does that mean?- Oh, no.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45We're going the wrong way.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46This way.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Hey, Sam, Bella, do you want to go and play in the park?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Shhh!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19We're searching for a musical sound.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22But we have to listen so we can track it down.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Is it lost?- I don't know, but we're using our ears.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Would you like to join us? - Yes!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Sounds like an adventure.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Let's get solving.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39ALL: Let's get solving.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55It's a cornet.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It looks like a trumpet.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01But a slightly different shape.
