0:01:36 > 0:01:39Thank you for letting us come and see your lovely clarinets.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Rachel, tell us about the clarinet.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45The clarinet was invented about 300 years ago.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Wow.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It was made of boxwood. At the time, it only had about two keys.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So we've got about 20 now but, at the time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- there were just two. - Only two?- Only two, yeah.- Wow!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00About 100 years later, they started making it out of
0:02:00 > 0:02:01grenadilla wood,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and they added all the keys and this is the clarinet we have today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Lily, can you tell us how you make the sound?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The clarinet is played by blowing through the
0:02:11 > 0:02:14mouthpiece and then moving your fingers to change the pitch.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Like this.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17SHE PLAYS
0:02:17 > 0:02:19'Nice playing, Lily.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21'Lily then shows us what they use
0:02:21 > 0:02:24'to blow with to make the sound.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25'It's called a reed.'
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- It's like a lolly stick.- Yeah. - Can I have a go?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I'll blow and you can move the keys.- Will that be OK?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36'I press the buttons as Lily plays. The buttons are called the keys.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:39CLARINET SQUEAKS 'Whoops, I think I need
0:02:39 > 0:02:41'more practice.'

0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Hello, everybody.- ALL:- Hello!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Did you like listening to the wind quartet?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- ALL:- Yes.- Did you?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- I thought the clarinet was really good, wasn't it?- ALL:- Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It made me think of a rabbit who got lost

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Oh, that's really nice.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Melody and I were wondering what the music made you think of.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It made me think of the wind blowing and...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04..a bird swooping through the wind.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- The wind blowing. What was it blowing through?- A storm.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The music made me think of, like,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23the wind blowing and a butterfly flapping its wings.
0:09:23 > 0:09:29It made a really nice tune and it was a really hot day too.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Wow, that's lovely.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's amazing that both of you thought of the wind in yours.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Interesting, cos the clarinet is actually a wind instrument.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Talicia, what did that make you think of?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13A fairy was fluttering its wings.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It was trying to get somewhere, like,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19into a shelter cos it was raining.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26'Aw, I'm glad the fairy found shelter.'
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Evan, I wonder if you saw anything different in your imagination?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35There was a squirrel that was trying to get out of the snow,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39but then he got covered by it in the winter, and he had nothing to eat.
0:10:39 > 0:10:46And then it started to rise and the sunrise turned it into summer.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50And then, he got up to his tree and ate all his nuts.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55'What a cute squirrel!'
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It was a slower piece of music, that piece, wasn't it?

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Right, that was the last little section, there, so, Hannah,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41what did that make you think of?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It made me think of a fox lost in the woods.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50A fox lost in the woods? What else was he doing in the woods?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54He was wandering around trying to get food.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Let's have a listen again and see if we can see what you saw.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01MUSIC PLAYS
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Look! There's a baby bird who had lost its mum and it was
0:12:14 > 0:12:18flying, but it couldn't fly before so it was really trying to fly.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Every time the music was going down, the bird was going down.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24But then, at the end, he was able to fly.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And he found his mum at the end.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35That's lovely. Isn't it brilliant?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Our imaginations come up with different things.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00'It's fun to use our imaginations together.'
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Did you like the ideas the other children had, Melody?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Yes, I loved them all.- Oh, me too.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08The same piece of music can mean lots of
0:13:08 > 0:13:10different things to different people.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Mummy, can I listen to it again, please?- Of course you can.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Here you go.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23That music made me think of a bunny rabbit who got lost.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What did it make you think of?
