YolanDa's Band Jam

Series 1

Jam #10: Cool Clarinet

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Available for 2 months

YolanDa gets the crowd moving with a song all about rhythm called Funky Elephant Walk and then welcomes clarinet player Lloyd Coleman. YolanDa and Lloyd compare the clarinet and the saxophone.

In the Fact Jam, we find out more about the clarinet, from its origins in Ancient Egypt to the current biggest clarinet that is taller than a person. We also discover the misnomer of woodwind, as the reed is actually made of long grass rather than wood.

A short film features a young girl who wants to teach her dad how to sing properly so he can sing along in her school choir. She enlists the help of Tommy Blaize, who can normally be seen singing on Strictly Come Dancing. Finally, Lloyd joins the band and together they perform a final jam called Creep. Show less
