Everyone is playing along on different instruments. Geoff is playing the didgeridoo - it sounds like a whale! We know Mark can make really good whale noises too, but he is playing the dun dun, the foundation drum.
The lovely sound at the start is Martyn on the 'boom tubes' - a home made instrument.
Emma is playing the steel pan which sounds really bright.
Daryl is playing chime bars.
David and Andrew are playing percussion. Daniel is on guitar.

We called this piece of music 'spring is coming'.

NEW YEAR, NEW EARS!

Our theme for this week is EXPLORATION.

We're going exploring in Alex and Ben's Spaceship full of new sounds!

We're landing on the Planet '2013' .... bleep bleep ... touching down ... what new music will we hear as we explore this unknown world?

It could sound strange, weird, wild, wonderful, crazy, squeaky, deep, funny ........

Approaching Planet 2013...... fasten your seat belts......

Don't miss the fun! This Thursday, same time, same place. Space food provided.

Alex's new drum
