Music note today is the letter "C".

In American Sign Language,

the letter "C" looks like this.

The instrument of the day 

from the letter "C" 

 is called a CLARINET

The CLARINET is a WOODWIND instrument

and it belongs to the WOODWIND family.

BELOW IS A 6 MINUTE VIDEO

TARATABONG LAND

LAND OF THE MELODITTIES

Next is a video 

of a 7 year old girl 

playing the 

CLARINET.

Here is an example of 

13 year old girl playing
"Flight of the Bumblebee" 

on the CLARINET.

MELODITIES IN TARATABONG

REMEMBER

THE MELODITTIES

ARE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

THIS ONE IS CALLED 

THE YAWNING

WITH THE 

DOUBLE BASS INSTRUMENT

I THINK WE SHOULD WATCH THE

PIRATES PLAY THE CELLOS

YOU JUST WATCHED WITH THE

MELODITTIES

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 

DOUBLE BASS (THE LARGER ONE)

AND A 

CELLO (THE SMALLER ONE)

Remember there are only 7 letters in the Music Alphabet,

and those letters are:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

There are no letters after G. 

In other words, there is no H, I, J, K, L, M...and so on.
