This is Newsround.

Coming up...

The Super Swans make

history in the FA Cup!

And we meet the ten-year-old

learning to play the

bagpipes with one hand.

First - it's freezing!

This is the scene here

in Salford where the snow

has now started to melt.

And across the country

lots of you have woken up

to more of the white stuff.

Loads of you have been

in touch to tell us

about the snow where you live.

Go for it, guys!

Hi, I'm Mia.

And I'm Josh.

And we're from Warrington.

And it's snowing!

And Isla and it's snowing

in Wrexham in North Wales.

I'm Emily.

And I'm Agatha.

And we're sisters.

And we live in Walthamstow.

Hello, my name is Jacques

and we're in Guernsey.

It's snowing for the first

time in five years.

We're really liking it.

We hope that school's

going to be cancelled.

And we can go out

sledging and make

snow angels and throw snowballs.

Our school's been

closed down because of the snow,

so now we're going to be

having loads of fun outside playing.

Yeah!

We're going to stop throwing

snowballs at our headteacher.

The snow feels, like, really fluffy.

But this one feels crunchy.

I hope it snows more

so I can build

a snowman after school.

I don't remember having

snow like this before.

So it's good.

We built a snowman in

the park and then we came here

and it's very unusual to have

snow next to the sea,

so we've been very excited to be

off school as well.

Sport now and amazing news

for Swansea City fans.

Their team have reached

the quarterfinals of the FA Cup

for the first time in 54 years.

They beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0

at the Liberty Stadium.

Tottenham or Rochdale

await in the next round.

Next to an amazing ten-year-old

who's learning to play

the bagpipes with one hand.

I went to meet him.

For Guy, this is a dream come true.

He's learned to play the scales,

and let's be honest,

he looks the part too.

But getting this far

hasn't been easy.

Guy was born with no left hand.

I've got a bone missing in it

and I have got five fingers

but some are really small and I've

always felt special with it.

Not many people your age

want to learn to play the bagpipes.

What made you so interested

in that instrument?

My mum's Scottish so when we go up

there we see my uncle, Neill,

and he plays the bagpipes.

So I've seen them before.

Ready?

Guy's mum reached out to the

One-Handed Musical Instrument Trust.

They found Duncan, a music teacher,

who invented this -

it's called the Pibroch,

a digital chanter

that's changed Guy's life.

In each of the holes,

you have a sensor that detects

the finger positions so you can

actually make the sound

do whatever you like,

so we came up with this new version

of the fingering only using the top

five holes to get all of the notes

that you can play on a normal

bagpipe chanter using just

using one hand.

Very good.

It's not that difficult and you can

just learn the scales and once

you've got the notes and the sound

you can start learning songs.

And it's not just the bagpipes -

a whole range of instruments

can be adapted and modified

to help musicians

with a physical disability express

themselves musically.

This here is called the Linstrument.

It's a keypad connected up

to a computer and it sounds

just like a violin, a viola

or a cello

and you can

play it single-handedly.

Now that Guy has learnt a tune

or two, he's set another goal -

to play the bagpipes

at Edinburgh Castle.

It would be so cool being

in front of lots of people,

being different to everyone else

because everyone would have to blow.

And I would have to blow

as well but it would be

much more different.

And you know what?

I'm sure it is only

a matter of time.

Well done!

How good is he?

Brilliant!

We're back in half an hour.

See you then.
