0:00:30 > 0:00:35'When I was little, I wanted to play the piano, so Mummy took me

0:00:35 > 0:00:38'for a piano lesson.'

0:00:38 > 0:00:42'The piano lesson was in a big music school,

0:00:42 > 0:00:46'where lots of people learned music.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49'My piano teacher was Mr Tonka.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52'When Mr Tonka played his piano,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55'he played all the notes together, very fast.'

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Now, do you want to learn to play the piano?

0:00:59 > 0:01:04'"Yes," I said. So Mr Tonka showed me all the notes.'

0:01:04 > 0:01:05The low note.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Well done.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- The middle note.- This one?- Yeah.

0:01:11 > 0:01:18- And the high note.- That one? - Yeah, that one. Well done.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44'At my next piano lesson,

0:01:44 > 0:01:49'Mr Tonka was in his tiny room, playing one of his pianos.'

0:01:49 > 0:01:54How are you doing? I have written some notes on a page.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58'Mr Tonka had written me some music dots.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01'The music dots went up and down.'

0:02:01 > 0:02:03See if we can play a scale. Now...

0:02:03 > 0:02:07PLAYS SCALE

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Do you want to try that?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10'I played the notes up, like the dots.'

0:02:10 > 0:02:12PLAYS SCALE

0:02:12 > 0:02:14That's great.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18'I didn't want to play the notes one by one, any more.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19RANDOM CHORDS

0:02:19 > 0:02:23'I played the notes all together, like Mr Tonka.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27'"Next time," said Mr Tonka, "we'll give the notes names."

0:02:27 > 0:02:31'When I went for my piano lesson again,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34'Mr Tonka was very excited.'

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Hello. Come and sit down. Look what I've been doing for you.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43'He had pictures for the notes - an apple, a ball, a cat.'

0:02:43 > 0:02:46See if you can play the apple note.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49'"Play me that apple notes," said Mr Tonka.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52'I didn't want to play the apple notes.'

0:02:55 > 0:02:57'I played all the notes,

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- 'like Mr Tonka.'- I've got to go.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02'Mr Tonka left.'

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Tig, you have to listen to what Mr Tonka asks you to do.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I know how to do the piano. '"No," I said,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12'"I'm playing all the notes together."

0:03:12 > 0:03:19'I played some more, but the notes didn't sound quite right.'

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Hey, Tig! Whee!

0:03:22 > 0:03:26It might be fun playing all the notes together,

0:03:26 > 0:03:30but some notes don't sound nice together.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Some notes sound better by themselves.

0:03:34 > 0:03:40If you play each note by itself, you can play a tune.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42# Half a pound of tuppenny rice

0:03:42 > 0:03:45# Half a pound of treacle. #

0:03:45 > 0:03:50When Mr Tonka plays the piano, it might look like he's playing

0:03:50 > 0:03:56all the notes, but Mr Tonka plays only the notes he needs.

0:03:56 > 0:04:03Mr Tonka listened to his teacher and learned what notes to play.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Go for it, Tig. Whee!

0:04:06 > 0:04:11Listen to Mr Tonka and learn how to play the piano.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15'"Yes," I thought, "I want to learn to play the piano

0:04:15 > 0:04:20'"so I'll listen to Mr Tonka and do what he tells me."

0:04:20 > 0:04:23'When Mr Tonka came back, he told me how to play a tune.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26'We played the tune together.'

0:04:26 > 0:04:30One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36THEY BOTH PLAY TUNE

0:04:36 > 0:04:39'Boing! "Argh!"

0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's only a toy spider.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44'I like Mr Tonka teaching me.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47'I like going to my piano lessons.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50'I love Woolly.'
