YolanDa's Band Jam

Series 1

Jam #1: Toot-ally Awesome Recorders

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Available for 4 months

YolanDa Brown and her house band The Band Jaminals entertain an audience of children with live music and guests. Joining the jam in this episode is recorder expert Sarah Jeffery, who takes YolanDa and the Band Jammers through her large collection of recorders. YolanDa has a go at playing the Bisset recorder, which is similar to her saxophone. Sarah then shows off her recorder skills by playing the smallest recorder with her nose, and then plays two recorders at the same time. YolanDa and Sarah then invite one of the Band Jammers to try their hand at playing the Contrabass Recorder, which is almost as tall as a person.

The Fact Jam explores some more funny facts about the recorder, including recorders collected by Henry VIII, a huge recorder made from a whole tree, and recorders that can be made from carrots.

The programme also explores an interesting new instrument, as a music-loving young girl tries her hand at the theremin. Show less
