ALL: Hi, Kagemusha Taiko!

And we're from Exeter.

And today we've come to Haldon Forest Park.

Because we really like sticks.

Sticks?

Not those types of sticks, drum sticks.

Because we play the drums.

ALL: Japanese style!

It's called taiko drumming.

And these are special Japanese drum sticks called bachi.

We use them to hit small drums, like this.

They're called shime.

Or big drums like this, they're called nagados.

These big drums on the stands are called odaikos.

And they're very, very heavy.

THEY STRAIN

To play taiko drums, you have to smile.

Keep your head up.

Stand in a strong position.

Make definite movements.

And keep going whatever happens.

CHILDREN YELL

THEY LAUGH

Oh! Well done!

THEY APPLAUD

We like to shout when we play our drums!

We shout "suru" to start because it means start in Japanese,

but after that we shout whatever we like.

Suru!

THEY SHOUT INDISTINCTLY

Let's show you properly.

Suru!

I'm here with Carl, he's 17 years old.

-You've been beatboxing...

-For about five years now.

Five years? All right. I don't need any excuse to be asked to beatbox,

so, if you wouldn't mind joining me in a little beatbox.

I'll start the beat and you carry on.

Three, two, one, go.

HE BEATBOXES

-All right, all right.

-We know you're really good at beatboxing.

I'm just street, aren't I?

Carl, you're obviously very good as well, but you're not here to beatbox

-you're here for the old didgeridoo.

-Indeed I am.

Going to combine both skills together.

The didgeridoo is 2,000 years old from Australia.

Give us a little go and see what it sounds like -

beatboxing and didgeridooing.

Is that a verb? Didgeridooing?

It is now!

So, what gave you the idea to go, "Oh, I can beatbox,

"why not whack it into a didgeridoo?"

Ages ago, I used to play didgeridoo, but then it broke,

so I recently bought a new one.

Because they both work on the same principle, breath control,

and the positioning of your mouth, so I thought,

-yeah, why not have a go?

-Give it a go, yeah.

-Can we have a go? Can you teach us?

-Let's do it.

Barney's getting involved, he's keen.

So, how do you blow the didgeridoo?

You need to vibrate your lips just like blowing a raspberry.

I'm really bad at that. Aren't I?

Let me give it a go.

LAUGHTER

That's special, isn't it?

I don't want to have a go, because Andy's embarrassing me.

Once you've got that,

you've got to learn the three basic skills of beatboxing,

which is the high hat...

HE MIMICS TAPPING OF CYMBALS

And then the kick drum.

THEY MIMIC KICK DRUM

And then the snare.

THEY MIMIC SNARE DRUM

-Then you put all three together...

-Barney's not liking this!

OK, so you do the raspberry with one of those moves

and that should make a beatboxing didgeridoo.

OK. Here goes.

SHE SPLUTTERS

Let me give it a go.

BLOWING AND SPLUTTERING SOUNDS

BARNEY BARKS

Barney, beatbox with us.

BARNEY BARKS

All right, all right! Relax!

-Barney...

-Chill.

BARNEY BARKS

OK, Barney's obviously scared by the didgeridoo, so let's...

Let the master have a go.

Carl, show us how it should be done. BARNEY GROWLS

HE BEATBOXS INTO THE DIDGERIDOO

LION ROARS

We've come to the art gallery here in Leeds.

-It's really cool inside.

-Come with us to see.

We've come to perform on traditional Indian instruments.

This is a tabla. That's the bass drum

and that's the treble drum and this is how it sounds.

RHYTHMIC DRUMMING

This is the santoor. You play it with two sticks called kalam.

It's got about 100 strings. It comes from the valley of Kashmir

and this is how it sounds.

TWANGING, BOUNCING STRINGS

We are going to perform an Indian song.

It is a tarana with Indian sargams.

POTS "PLAY" BIG BEN CHIMES

Hey! Very nice! That was the Big Ben tune

played with pots.

-Zic Zazou, welcome to the studio.

-Hello.

-Bonjour.

-Bonjour.

All the way from France. This is great. Now, you guys play with

some pans. How do you get sounds out of pans and pots?

-You need to have a pan which sounds the note you want.

-The note you want.

If you want to make a tune very good...

-Yeah.

-..you have to grind it a little.

-So you grind it there

-to get a particular tune that you want.

-Yes.

-What other stuff

do you play with? You have some bottles, some glasses.

We play lots of things. Bottles, glasses, frying pans. Many, many

-tools and we even use table legs as flutes.

-Are you serious?

-Yes.

-Amazing.

-Can I have a go of the glass. Everyone does this at home.

So I wet my finger. You can do this with any glass, can't you?

Any glass. Some are better.

NOTE RESONATES This is a good one.

Great. Very nice.

-Ooh.

-Add some water

and the note changes and it will be deeper.

-A deeper note?

-OK.

-DEEPER NOTE RESONATES

You're good. A pro. Maybe he can join you in your show?

-Do you want to try?

-OK, give us a go.

-Oh...

-Let's forget it.

-So I'll just stop.

You've come to show us exactly what you do.

You're going to be giving us a performance

of your signature song - Le Ballon De Rouge.

Le Ballon De Rouge - yes.

Almost got it! And what does that mean?

-It means the red balloon.

-The red balloon.

OK, guys, take it away. Allez!

THEY PLAY: "Le Ballon De Rouge"

PERCUSSIVE TAPS AND SWEET NOTES

APPLAUSE

This is an electric harp. I love it and the sounds it makes.

In fact it's ELECTRIFYING!

ROCK'N'ROLL BLUESY STYLE ELECTRIC HARP

WHOOPING AND CHEERING IN BACKGROUND

Hi, I'm James and I'm at the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland.

It's very special here because the rocks make these amazing patterns.

And I think it's the perfect place for me to play my wind instrument -

the clarinet.

My clarinet has a reed here that vibrates to make the sound

when I blow here.

MELLOW SINGLE NOTE

It has lots of keys and holes

and I have to stretch my fingers to make notes.

I love playing the clarinet because it makes me happy.

Shall I play you something?

JAMES PLAYS: "Stranger On The Shore"

Look at them go! It's great. Now, the idea here,

which I'll try and do, is the A to Z of instruments.

We're going to start with A for Aaron here on the A for accordion.

Let's move on to B for bongos.

C for cymbal!

D for drum. It's big, it's a capital D.

Euphonium!

F for flute. Give us it... That's good. Good effort. Well done.

G for guitar. Can we have a G chord? Very nice. Lovely.

And a harmonica. Very nice. H for harmonica.

This is an idiophone, would you believe? Or a rattle.

Very nice rattling.

Lovely. Jew's harp.

-Hwoahr!

-GIGGLES

Jew's harp.

K for keyboard - very nice indeed. This is L for lute.

Going through, M for maracas. Keep it going at naga...zwacka,

I think it is, or something similar, an Indian... Nagaswaran.

It's an Indian wind instrument.

You've got a bit of Indian wind in you, well done.

O for oboe. I tell you what, they've been practising all day, very good.

P for panpipes. We struggled a bit with Q.

What about a quartet of kazoos?

Go on, give us a kazoo...

Good, very good. Keep going. R for recorder.

And I'm going to join in with S for spoons. Can we have a bit of T

for tambourine as well while we're at that...? Lovely. Very nice.

Ukulele - when you're cleanin' windows. Give us on of them.

Lovely. Now we're on to V for violin, or viola.

Wooden block - W.

Good. X for xylophone.

Very nice. And Z for zither... Oh, no, I've missed out Y!

Yourself. You can never miss out yourself.

Lovely. Your cheeks. You could do your elbows, or even your feet.

And then, Z, for zither. Give us a zither!

Lovely! Thanks very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to...

..me. Hi, I'm Sam and I'm from Halifax...

which is here, in the North of England.

I've come to the National Railway Museum, in York.

It has lots of different trains,

but I haven't come here just to look at the trains. I've come here

as a percussionist. That means I play instruments that you hit.

This is a xylophone. TRAIN TOOTS

Not that, this. It's made of wood.

I hit it with special sticks and it makes a funny noise, like this...

Now, I'm going to play this xylophone.

Here's a piece. Guess what? It's called On The Track.

That's funny, because we're in a railway museum!

HE PLAYS: "On The Track"

TRAIN TOOTS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And now, it's our turn to have a go on the drum kit. OK, Chris,

-show us what we're hopefully going to learn.

-Well, hopefully,

you should be able to learn this. SLOW DRUMBEAT

Good. Sounds simple, but I bet it's not.

So, you only use three drums for that, but obviously,

-you've got a big kit there. What have we got here?

-Well,

-we have a bass drum here.

-Yeah.

-We have a snare here.

-Mm.

A high tom here.

Floor tom.

Hi-hat.

Crash...

-and ride.

-Good.

OK. But let's concentrate on that rhythm to start with.

-You're in pole position, you learn first.

-OK.

-Chris, take it away.

-OK. Is you foot on the hi-hat? Yep.

-My foot is in place.

Right, all we have to do is a simple four on your hand. So like one,

two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

On every three, you hit the snare drum. So, it's

one, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four...

Every one you hit,

you have to hit the bass drum.

So, that would be...

-I like it.

-..one, two, three, four.

-One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

-Woo!

One, two, three, four.

# A programme called Blue Peter... #

Right, so you've got the simple rhythm,

-can you add anything to that?

-After that,

if you get good enough,

you can add a fill...

I like it. OK, let's have a little go at that.

Great. So that was kind of a simple rhythm and a fill-in.

Are you going to do it with me, Zoe? You've got the beat. Ready? And...

That's a simple rhythm.

-Do you want me to do a fill?

-Yeah, try and do a fill.

-How's that?

-OK.

-You keep going with that rhythm.

Lovely stuff. Whilst we keep on practising,

why don't you find out a bit more about drumming?

The modern-day drum kit is a collection of drums,

cymbals and sometimes, other percussion instruments.

The drum kit began to develop with the turn of the 20th century.

It was a way to play as many different drums as possible

in a confined space.

The bass drum is the largest member of the modern drum set

and it produces a low, deep sound.

It was introduced into the Western orchestra in the 18th century

and was known as the Turkish drum. The snare drum's

unique sound is made by the stick hitting the skin

and the rattle of a snare. The snares are the metal wires,

or springs, stretched across the bottom of the drum, which produce

-this sound.

-LIGHT DRUMMING

Great stuff. How's it going, Zo?

Yeah... Do you know what? I can do two things at once,

but three things at once is proving tricky.

-But I think I'm getting there, yeah?

-Not bad. We do need more practice.

Beardyman is a champion beatboxer, who's performed at

loads of music festivals. Beatboxers imitate the sound of

musical instruments by using their mouth, lips, tongue and voice,

creating beats, rhythms and melodies.

We had a guest come in who was a beatboxer

-and they called him the Bearded Man.

-The Bearded Man?

They called him the Bearded Man.

Just for the record, Sam, it's Beardyman.

Either way, he doesn't have a beard!

-He was absolutely amazing.

-Really good. It was brilliant.

# Come fly with me... #

'A bit of Frank Sinatra, a bit of beatbox...'

-Ah...

-He was phenomenal.

# ..away! #

I couldn't even talk. After I saw him, I was like...

Was that you, doing that with your mouth?

-Exactly.

-Looks like Beardyman's inspired everyone.

THEY CHEER

For Welsh beatboxer Lloyd, it's a dream come true,

-as he gets some one-on-one tuition.

-THEY BEATBOX

'Lloyd's wicked.

'He's a really talented musician.'

I'm sure he'll be a wicked beatboxer.

See?

I learnt how to vocal scratch,

but I'm not that great, so I'll have to practise.

-Erm... Wacka-wacka-wacka.

-Wicked.

'Although he's great at beatboxing'

in one particular style, to then shift that to something else

is pretty challenging.

Tightening up his beats rhythmically and how loud he is, and stuff.

But then you go like, shh.

As well, like sucking in - shh!

-Shh.

-Yeah, so you go, ushh!

-Usssh!

-That's it, that's it!

Just like, usssh!

Uh! Oh!

You never get it first time.

Well, practice makes perfect!

She's the girl at the top of her scene,

with success at the MOBOs and Brit Award nominations,

Estelle is making a mark on the music world.

But she's not so famous to help out the stars of the future

with an MC master class.

Hi.

This workshop is funded by Comic Relief

and it helps kids who want to make it in music

even though some of them come from tough backgrounds.

It took Estelle six years to get a record deal,

so she knows how hard it can be.

It was a chance for me to go out there and say,

"Look, this is how real it is. Don't let anyone tell you anything else.

"If you're rubbish, you're rubbish. If you're good, you're good."

And it wasn't long before she spotted some talent.

There was one guy, he was rapping and he ended up freestyling.

He had the crowd up.

It was just like, "You was trying to hide two seconds ago.

"What's going on?"

# I think you might get sick of me

# Cos I'm crazy hype

# I'm getting into this beat I don't know why... #

It was beautiful.

It was just like, "That's what I want to see", you know?

I don't want to get up on stage,

I want to be in the crowd in five years

and see these guys like, "I don't know. I'm scared."

When you are performing, perform to these people.

# What can I do?

# If I had a wish I would wish you... #

The one thing I learnt today would have to be

that if you want to do something in your life, you can do it.

# Yeah, yeah. #

It was very embarrassing. I am shy.

They told me I should be confident

and I shouldn't hear what people say.

She talked sense, she don't talk rubbish you don't want to hear.

'Then it was my turn.'

Sing it with her, come on!

# 1988, God made me

# 89, I start to feel fine

-# Sing it

-95, I start to find myself

# 99, reminiscing my life. #

Your host can rap. I was like, "Wow!"

# Sing it

# 99, I start to find myself

# 99, reminiscing my life. #

Ah, there's nothing like a gentle, early morning wake-up call.

Brace yourself for this.

THEY PLAY SCOTLAND THE BRAVE LOUDLY

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

Bagpipes were traditionally designed to be played outdoors

and their sound can carry up to 10 miles.

Oh, Steve, guys, great early-morning rendition of Scotland The Brave.

By the end of today... It's a big ask...

I'm not looking to play Scotland The Brave

but to at least get a note out of the bagpipes.

-What are my chances, Steve?

-Pretty good.

-Yeah?

-But you first of all have to start off on the practice chanter.

-Right.

-Time for a lesson?

-Yep.

Off I go.

THEY PLAY THE CHANTER

Right here, I am for my first chanter lesson.

Now, I know it looks a little bit like a recorder

but believe me, when it comes to playing it,

you need an awful lot of puff.

Nice and quiet!

OK, what we're going to do today

is start off with the basic scale for practice chanter.

To achieve low A, we lift up our finger, here.

-Try that.

-THEY PLAY

-Next.

-HE PLAYS A NOTE

Good. Right, Simon.

HE PLAYS POORLY

Oh, excuse me! HE PLAYS THE RIGHT NOTE

Good. Nibbler?

SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY CHANTER

To achieve C, you need to lift up that finger

and put down the pinkie at the same time.

HE PLAYS

HE PLAYS A SCALE

OK, Simon?

SIMON PLAYS A SCALE

Good!

Now that we've covered all the notes on the chanter,

the first tune we're going to cover is The Brown Haired Maid.

We're going to play only the melody.

I knew I was pushing my luck

cos normally you wouldn't be given a tune without weeks of practice.

I haven't got a hope of playing this!

THEY ALL PLAY TOGETHER

OK!

The great thing with everyone playing is,

I'm not sure whether he can hear if I'm playing it right.

If I was good enough, I'd play this later with the pipers,

but I'd no idea how I'd cope with the bag attached.

Bagpipes are one of the world's oldest instruments

and were played when Scottish clans went into battle.

Their piercing drone was one of the only things that could be heard

above the roar and the din.

Steve, that sounded great

and I've had my chanter lesson.

It's gone OK.

I think I'm ready to have a go on the pipes themselves.

-What do you reckon?

-Good, we'll give it a shot.

-Is this my set here?

-This is your set, yeah.

I'll explain first of all what we have.

What you have to do first is put the bag under your left arm

and rest the drones on your shoulder

and blow into the blow piece.

BAGPIPES MAKE NO SOUND

HE PLAYS A NOTE

HE PLAYS A LONG NOTE

NOTE STOPS

You need lungs the size of an elephant!

That's good for a first attempt.

Danny, guys, I'm kitted up, I'm practised up,

I think, and I'm ready to go.

Are you ready for me?

-Get blowing, Simon.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

OK, guys, take it away.

THEY PLAY A TUNE

CHEERING

Well, hello, good morning.

My name's Lesley Garrett and I'm going to sing O Mio Babbino Caro.

Lesley Garrett is an award-winning singer

and one of the UK's most famous opera stars.

# O mio babbino caro... #

For some of the team members,

this is the first time they've ever heard a live opera performance.

# ..bello, bello... #

When she started singing, we were all like...

# ..Vo'andare... #

This woman almost bared her soul and these sounds flew out of her.

# ..Andrei sul Ponte... #

The performance today with Lesley Garrett

really shocked me.

It was such a strong performance, she was so loud.

I didn't know how someone could perform so well with just a pianist.

# ..Pieta. #

THEY APPLAUD

That sounds fantastic.

Opera singer Lesley Garrett drops in.

The most important thing when you come to sing is to breathe.

SHE INHALES

You need to take a breath in with the idea that you're going to sing.

That's your preparation breath and that will sustain you

throughout the whole song.

Lesley told us how to control your breathing.

She said breathing's the most important thing in singing

cos you have to time it right.

It will last the whole song.

Have you warmed your bodies up? Have you done some vocalising today?

Have you stretched?

Before I sing, I do a load of stretching.

Lesley shows them a few vocal tricks of the trade.

There's the, "I'm stepping on hot coals"...

# Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. #

THEY LAUGH

..the vacuum cleaner...

A-ff-a-ff-a-ff

That's great. A-ff-a-ff-a-ff.

And finally, the car alarm...

Wow-oo!

-Wow-oo!

-Wow-oo!

-Wow-oo!

-Wow-oo!

-Wow-oo!

Fantastic!

That just really wakes your voice up.

# Brr-brr-brr... #

THEY BEATBOX

Award-winning R&B group, Naturally 7,

are experts in vocal versatility

as they use no instruments at all, just their voices.

THEY BEATBOX

I really liked them and when they said they were going to perform

so I just went mad cos I was so excited.

# I can build this wall to surround me... #

My mouth was just open and I couldn't close it.

They were amazing, it blew my mind.

At one point, one man did a guitar solo.

It sounded so much like a real guitar but it was with his mouth.

THEY BEATBOX

# I build this wall. #

I see you're tasting a bit...

What do you think the sound is of creaming together butter and sugar?

HE IMITATES RECORD SCRATCHING

Like a scratch, yeah.

Naturally 7 came into our rehearsal today,

they taught us that we could make different sounds with our voice.

How would we stir?

# Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum

# Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum

# Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum... #

-That's where the groove comes in!

-Spread on a baking tray and divide.

Spread like...

# Moo-oo-mo-oo-moo-oo... Ch-ch-ch-ch! #

See if you can...

-# Moo-oo-mo-oo-moo-oo... Ch-ch-ch-ch! #

-Yeah!

Steel pans are traditionally the music of the Caribbean.

But I'm not going to the island of Trinidad,

where steel pans come from,

but to Tyneside.

I feel like I should be dancing in with a Caribbean shirt on.

-That sounds lovely.

-Thank you.

-You must be Katie.

-Yeah.

-How long have you been doing this?

-About two years.

-You've got a challenge for me.

-Em, yep.

I'm going to teach you how to play the steel pans

-then you have to play a solo.

-A solo?

Mm-hm.

OK. I have no musical ability, I warn you now!

So, good luck, teacher!

First up, Katie taught me the scale.

-B Flat, C.

-F, D, A.

That doesn't sound right.

You do make it look easy.

If you don't hit it square on, it sounds rubbish.

Come on!

Well done!

Yay!

'I'd barely mastered the skill when she added a tune!'

-Right, it's C and F.

-OK.

Then C and E.

Then C and F again.

-OK.

-Right, you try it.

Then another part is A, A, C.

A, A, C.

A, C, F.

That sounds like something. Little Donkey! Little Donkey!

'I was having to play by ear and the notes weren't in any order.

'This challenge was proving pretty tricky.'

Now you've got to put all three sections together.

'With a bit of practice, I was starting to get the hang of it.'

I think you're doing well. So you're ready for the solo.

-This is what I'm going to have to play in the studio?

-Yeah.

-OK. Go on, then.

-Ready?

There's quite a lot of notes there.

SHE FALTERS

'Yep, too many notes.'

Oh!

I think she's doing quite well on the training but when she performs live,

I'm not sure what she'll be like.

I'm getting it right every now and again!

The trouble is, I'm only going to get one shot at this.

If I don't get it right,

I'm going to let the whole band down.

So now it is challenge time. Helen says she has no musical ability.

Let's find out. Katie's going to do a solo and Helen will repeat it.

Helen, what is toughest about this?

If you don't hit the notes bang on, it sounds rubbish.

Perfect...rubbish.

Don't embarrass yourself on national TV. Well, let's talk,

as they say in Hollywood, let's take it away!

BAND PLAY CARIBBEAN MEDLEY

THEY CHEER

THEY CHEER

It may be miserable outside but it is sunny in here, it feels it anyway.

Katie, did Helen make any mistakes?

No, I think she did really well.

Congratulations! You were just... Freestyling!

-It was good.

-I did what they told me to do. I hit the right notes.

-I enjoyed that!

-Emily, you've been judging Helen from afar.

Not very far. How did she do, can she join the band?

With a bit of practice, yeah.

-Woo-hoooo!

-Well done, H!

We finally succeeded at a Take Me On. I'm not sure about these.

Katie, thank you so much for the lessons, a great teacher.

Thank you to the North Tyneside Steel Band for coming in.

Next stop, Stomp, an award-winning dance troupe who use all kinds of

every-day objects in their shows to create

amazing rhythmic performances.

THEY TAP BRUSHES RHYTHMICALLY

People come to Stomp not quite knowing what they're in for.

When the rhythm and the performance builds up,

from nothing, it's really exciting for the audience to watch.

Oh, that's a bad boy manoeuvre!

THEY CHEER

They've seen the pros at work, now it's time for them

to get their hands on some of Stomp's unique instruments.

-Get your earplugs ready!

-BANGING, RATTLING

As you can hear behind us, this is what it's like to wake up

in the noisiest room, in the noisiest place on Earth.

It's very, very important,

the first thing you need to do when you're busking together

is listening to each other, playing together, not overpowering

each other's playing, OK? So, let's start off with the basses.

Kick off some kind of groove.

One by one, we'll come in playing what we think we can add to it

-to make it sound nice.

-1, 2, 3, 4!

Add something?

A little softer. It's good, though.

We gave them some bass instruments and some high-end instruments.

We had a skip, some pipes, some paint cans,

some bins. Pretty much rubbish that we use in the show.

We've learnt to keep in time with each other, look at each other,

and generally just feel each other's groove, really.

Whilst they carry on jamming, backstage there's a special visitor.

What's going on? I'm Tinchy Stryder.

Tinchy Stryder is another huge star.

His single with pop band N-Dubz, called Number 1,

went straight to the top of the charts at number one.

They don't know I'm here but I'm going to surprise them now.

Wait, what's going on here?

It's Tinchy Stryder!

If you go on stage and you ain't got no butterflies,

there's something wrong. It's right to have butterflies.

I have a couple of minutes silence, just take it in.

HE BEATBOXES

Yeah, I like the tempo. Good.

He give me lyrics from Number 1, so I was like, "Wow!"

# .. kid's games, kiss chase

# Just a quick fling Now I'm hoping you never go missing

# I'm telling you You can hold this ring

# Watch it glisten As quick as the wind blows

# Didn't think I would ever be involved

# So I made a song called Don't Go It was just you and me on a love roll

# Us two, tip-toe Duck-dive, get low

# Know I care less about who knows

# Now we're deep in way past intro

# Dappy, explain, yo. #

THEY CHEER

Well done!
