Here are 3 different pieces of music for you to enjoy. I wonder which one you will like the best.
First is a piece of West African music. The instrument is the Kora. What do you think of the sound of the Kora?
The second piece is being played by lots of musicians each in their own rooms. They are staying at home to keep safe, just like us.
And now here’s a fast dance. When you’ve watched it put it on again and have a good dance!
Which piece of music did you enjoy the most?
Would you like to listen to one of them again?
First is a piece of fast music. It's called Short Rise in a Fast Machine! Listen and think about what fast machine you would like to ride in.
Our second piece is light and relaxing.
And to finish, Jo, one of our music volunteers, has sung a song for us. Clap along with her and sing the chorus if you can.

This music describes all the kitchen pots, pans and utensils marching around!
Our second piece is called Lara’s theme – you may know this song from the film Doctor Zhivago. The instruments playing are Balalaikas and Accordion.
And now a dance. Do you know this dance? Then dance along!

First here is Mory Kanté singing and playing the Kora in Yé ké yé ké. Do you like the dancing?
Now some music written using lots of repeating notes. It reflects the traffic in a busy city during the night and daytimes.
And last of all Paper Piece. I had no idea paper was so noisy! Why not get a piece of paper and join-in?
