HI, SAM.

HI, FRED.

THIS IS MY TELEVISION NEIGHBOR.

COME RIGHT IN.

I WANT MY FRIENDS TO HEAR YOUR TUBA.

THE TUBA'S A GREAT INSTRUMENT.

THIS TUBA WEIGHS MORE THAN 30 POUNDS.

30 POUNDS!

PULL UP A STOOL HERE, AND I'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ WHAT A LOW NOTE THAT IS!

YOU PLAY MORE THAN... ♪ BUM BUM BUM BUM ♪♪ RIGHT.

YOU CAN PLAY SONGS, BUT YOU HAVE TO BREATHE A LOT.

I'LL PLAY A SONG ON THE TUBA.

IT TAKES A LOT OF AIR.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ DOES PLAYING THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD?

IT'S REALLY RELAXING.

IT'S LIKE PLAYING REAL HARD ON THE PLAYGROUND, AND AFTERWARDS YOU'RE REAL TIRED, BUT IT'S A REALLY NICE KIND OF TIRED.

I WISH I COULD DO THAT.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY?

SURE.

SIT IN THIS CHAIR AND HOLD ON TO IT GOOD BECAUSE IT'S HEAVY.

THEN YOU'VE GOT TO CHANGE THIS MOUTHPIECE.

EACH PERSON HAS THEIR OWN.

I HAVE A SPARE HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU USE THIS.

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A BIG BREATH TO BLOW IT.

NOTHING COMES OUT.

THAT'S BECAUSE WHEN YOU BLOW IT, IN ORDER TO GET SOUND, YOU BLOW THROUGH BUZZING LIPS.

PFFFFFF!

PFFFFF!

RIGHT.

TAKE A BIG BREATH AND BUZZ YOUR LIPS.

♪ ♪ THAT MAKES YOUR LIPS TICKLE.

THIS IS SUCH A BIG INSTRUMENT.

A CHILD COULDN'T PLAY THAT.

WHEN YOU'RE A CHILD, YOU PLAY A SMALL TUBA.

[KNOCK ON DOOR] THAT MUST BE DAVE.

WE HAVE A REHEARSAL TODAY.

COME ON IN.

♪ HI, SAM.

HI.

HELLO, FRED.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING THE TUBA.

THIS IS MY TELEVISION NEIGHBOR.

HI.

THIS IS DAVE OHANIAN, AND THIS IS HIS FRENCH HORN.

LET ME PLAY A FEW NOTES FOR YOU.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ IT HAS A VERY MELLOW SOUND.

WE SHOULD GO TO REHEARSAL, DAVE.

FIRST WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING TOGETHER?

SURE.

THAT SONG I PLAYED ON THE TUBA IS PART OF A PIECE WE ALL DO TOGETHER.

WE COULD PLAY THAT.

THAT'S THE HANDEL PIECE.

LISTEN FOR THE TUBA AND THE FRENCH HORN TOGETHER.
