0:00:45 > 0:00:46- BOTH:- Hello, Kate.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50What is the first thing you need to do when you write a song?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Well, the very first thing you need is a melody.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54What is a melody?
0:00:54 > 0:00:58The melody is the bit that you find yourself humming all the time.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00It's the tune of the song.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02How can we find a melody for our song?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05The ideas for melodies can come from anywhere.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09You might be inspired by a person or place that you visit.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I know a really good place
0:01:11 > 0:01:13we can go and find some inspiration. Let's go.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Kate is taking us to a forest.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20There are lots of things to see and hear.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Lots of things to inspire our song.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We need to be thinking about melodies.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- So what can we hear, Emily?- Birds.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30So let's listen to the birds.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32BIRDS TWEET
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Listen to that bird there. It went, "Doo-doo-doo-doo."
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Can you do that?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39- BOTH:- Doo-doo-doo-doo.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We could have a bit of that.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- What do you think? - Sounds great.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48The birds are making lots of high and low sounds, repeated sounds.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We are going to pull them all together and create our melody.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55So now, we have got to think of some words for our song.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I think I've got some.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Have you? Well, these words are called lyrics.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So what lyrics can we have for our song?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06# The trees are blowing and the birds are singing. #
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Brilliant. I love that. OK. What about you, Davey?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- # Mud is splashing... # - Yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13# And the ponds are streaming
0:02:13 > 0:02:15# The mud is icky, sticky and squishy. #
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, yes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We've been doing a lot of walking today, haven't we?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Yeah.- Have you noticed it's a bit like a march?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- SHE MARCHES Like this?- Yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Can you march?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37What sort of words do think we might be able to use, Emily?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50'Back at Kate's studio,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'we are finding a rhythm for our song.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Why does our song need a rhythm?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Well, the rhythm is there to drive the song along.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Some rhythms can be fast and some rhythms can be slow.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We need to see which one will fit your song the best.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08So here's a fast one.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And here's a slower one.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Which one do you think works best?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Fast.- Do you think so?- Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- What do you think? - We think the fast.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- Now we've found the rhythm, can we make some music?- Absolutely.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37DRUM TINKLES
