YolanDa's Band Jam

Series 1

Jam #11: Epic Electric Strings

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Available for 4 months

YolanDa wakes up the crowd and her Band with “Wake the Drummer” and welcomes Ember Trio to the jam who play two electric cellos and an electric violin. They compare the violin to an acoustic one so the audience can see the different shape and designs. A lucky Band Jammer then helps show-off the Wah pedal that allows Ember Trio to make the electric violin sound different during playing. In the Fact Jam, we find out more fun facts about electric strings, how they can be any shape and style you like, including the most expensive violin being entirely covered in crystals. Electric strings can also be used to play quickly, so the fastest player in the world could play “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” before you could count to three. Ember Trio show-off exactly what they can do on their strings, with an electrifying performance of “New Rules” by Dua Lipa. A short film features two young boys who love movies and soundtracks.
