0:00:56 > 0:00:58I ask, "Is it brothers and sisters?"
0:00:58 > 0:01:04But mum says the family isn't the people, it's the instruments.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I can't wait to find out what she means.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I wonder if they all look the same.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Melody, I can hear a guitar. Have a listen.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Hi.- Hello, everybody.- Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- So, what instruments are you playing?- French horn.- Cornet.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Trombone.- Trumpet.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49They're all the same colours, so are they from the same family?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52They're from something called the brass family,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56so the mouthpieces are silver or gold and the instruments can be
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- gold, silver or brass. - How do you make this sound?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Basically, you just blow into the mouthpiece.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04HE BLOWS
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Can I have a go?- Yes.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20But how do you change the note?
0:02:20 > 0:02:26So, basically, for every note, you press down a different valve so...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28HE PLAYS
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- That's brilliant.- Wow!- What actually changes the note?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, when you press a valve, it lengthens the tube
0:02:39 > 0:02:41which creates a higher or lower note.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right, I see. And what about this trombone?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47How do you change the note on that?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49SHE PLAYS

0:03:56 > 0:03:59The band arrives on stage.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04They're called Brass Attack. There's loads of them.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08At the front is Paul, their conductor.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Today, we'd like to play for you two pieces of music.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Then a little girl runs along holding a balloon by its string.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08She's in a hurry to get somewhere.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Oh, no, her balloon is floating away.
