[Music]
everybody
here's that noise
that is precisely what I would like to
know
do you know I was just getting my
feathers into place and it sounded like
the sky was falling
there it goes again it's coming from
outside
[Music]
hi everybody hey we're having drum fun
now huh
PJ is my name I love to play a game a
baseball or maybe basketball
usually in a hurry but never stop to
worry about what will happen if I trip
or fall I like to play My Drum yeah
sometimes I wipe it on my shirt
he's always ready for fun yes PJ is the
one we'll check it out
[Music]
awesome
I went
sometimes I wipe it off my shirt
s
[Applause]
yes
okay I think you're being a little too
noisy your drumming made our Tower
tumble and it made Barney fall down the
slide away slipped and flipped and now
oops sorry oh that's okay BJ we know you
were just having fun but BJ was doing a
lot more than just making noise he was
also making a rhythm I was oh yeah I
knew that we learned about rhythm in
school our music teacher says a rhythm
is a repeating pattern of beads uh say
what oh well a beat is just a sound like
hitting your drum
or Clapping Your Hands
and the rhythm is when you play a group
of Beats again and again all right got
it I think oh I'll show you BJ I know a
rhythm game that we can all play
together okay this is a song and a
clapping game it's so much fun to play
you can do it with a group you can do it
with yourself you can do it most every
day just listen
foreign
the good thing about this clapping is
the Rhythm will never never change but
the things we're about to clap on please
seem a little straight
[Music]
on your shoulders
[Music]
the good thing about this clapping is
the river will never never change but
the things
[Music]
on your knees now
are your hips now
this is cool
one more time
[Music]
just to make us feel good on the very
last time everybody clap with your hands
here we go
[Music]
last time
[Music]
I get it now it's not hard to make a
rhythm well it sure isn't in fact
sometimes you make rhythms without even
knowing it we do surely Ashley try
walking across the playground and
Clapping Your Hands each time you take a
step okay
hey walking makes a slow kind of Rhythm
and Hannah why don't you try skipping
and clapping oh
hey this is fun what other kinds of
rhythms are there Barney well let's see
there's the Rhythm in music like in our
clapping game and the rhythms in our
bodies like when you skip or walk and
there are even rhythms in some of the
games you like to play
[Music]
bubblegum cookie dough
one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten
nice jumping Ashley thank you Barney
you're welcome see there's a rhythm even
when you're jumping rope would you like
to play another game
this is a listening game and I'll bet if
we listen very carefully we can hear
rhythms all around us
the dog barking is a rhythm oh you're
right
and if we listen even more carefully
maybe we'll hear a quieter rhythm
for you
right
uh is there a problem
BJ we're trying to listen for something
quiet
I think you wanted us to hear you so
much that you forgot how important it
can be to listen
[Music]
yeah
if you want someone to listen to you
then you need to listen to take turns
talking it's kind of like a game and
listen when you hear your name oh Barney
listen to The Raindrops listen to The
Birds
listen to your mother and listen to
these words everybody should stop
who is it when we will talk with
your family at the table with your
friends down on a walk everybody should
stop
listen to what I say
you can learn more every day
[Music]
if you want someone to listen to you
then you need to listen to take turns
talking it's kind of like a game
[Music]
with your
friends
[Music]
said you can learn more every day
what a lovely idea it certainly is
important to listen isn't it scooter
what what'd you say I can't hear you
[Music]
never mind
[Music]
my teacher says that people all around
the world make music with different
kinds of drums really I thought all
drums were pretty much the same
well you know what they say BJ if you
wanna learn something new just look at
it
we've got books about drums how cool is
that
drums were one of the first musical
instruments and you'll find them in
every country all around the world
maybe you've seen drums like this in a
parade or at a circus
yeah
but in India you'd probably hear this
kind of drum it's called a toddler
[Music]
a tablet this is the Nigerian talking
drum it can't really talk but a drummer
can use it to send messages to friends
far away
in Ireland they play a drum called the
bowron see how skinny it is there's an
Irish legend that says two friends had
to share just one drum so they cut it in
half and that was the first Ballroom
well I don't want to cut anything in
half but I do think it'd be fun to make
my very own drum yeah
then this sounds like a job Fuller
oh boy
I'm good
oh I've been looking in my body
and I found a lot of things
gizmos and gadgets
[Music]
so you're making drums out of oatmeal
boxes very good yeah and use the beans
to make noise inside of the plates
oh and then you can decorate the outside
with paperwork
oh yeah
flip the lid on the top and just drum on
that sure
pass the beans please
because you can do whatever you want oh
very good Ashley
yes
we're all done Barney what do you think
oh very nice I like your drumming sounds
and listen to our tambourines we can hit
them like a drum or you can just shake
them
outstanding could I try that sure we
made extra tambourines for you and
Barney
we've got our very own Rhythm band
oh
here we go
here we go
all on a Saturday night I put my right
hand in I put my right hand out I gave
my hand a shake shake shake and turn
myself about
here we go
here we go
[Applause]
oh
I hope something
I give myself
that was terrific I think drums are lots
of fun they are but there's more to
Drums than just having fun they can also
be part of something very important like
what whoa I could tell you but I think
my friends can do it better which
friends
these friends
there you are Barney hi Marvin oh my god
oh everyone I'd like you to meet my very
good friend Marvin Johnson and his
daughter Micah hi
everyone Marvin and Micah are Native
Americans that's right Barney my family
come from the Choctaw Seminole Chickasaw
and Cheyenne Nations
drums and dances have been important to
my people for a very long time I learned
them when I was young now I'm teaching
them to Micah Barney asked me to show
you one of our chances while my father
plays the drama
first we need to put on some special
clothes that we brought okay okay we'll
you outside come on everybody
here they come on
[Music]
Wow you guys look great thank you these
are clothes that we wear for very
special occasions
and check out that cool drum
my drum is made of wood and deer skin
the picture shows a warrior Gathering
food for his tribe the Cheyenne believed
that in the drum is a spirit and when I
play the drum the spirit comes out for
the dancers would you like to see a
dance right now
[Music]
of a lady butterfly who is very sad when
her husband dies but in time she learns
to be happy again
are you ready
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
my stars and was just beautiful oh I
wish scooter that you have been able to
hear it hey
what you yelling for huh
oh my oh my oh my I'm really glad Mr
Johnson came to visit and I loved
Micah's dance
it takes hard work to learn a dance like
that but I'm sure it's a lot of fun too
and you know
sorry but we had so much fun talking
about drums and stuff that I just have
to beat my drum some more I think I
think I just got too many boom boom
booms left in me
well then maybe we'd better all get
those boom booms out of our systems and
I know just how to do it
[Music]
[Music]
to be crazy
a horse and a flea and three blind mice
sat on a curved Zone cover with ice the
horse he slipped and fell on the fleet
sent to flee there's a horse on me
crazy
way down south where bananas grow a flea
stepped on an elephant's toe the
elephant cried with tears and his eyes
why don't you pick on sewing your size
to be crazy
to be crazy
must be crazy
okay BJ do you still have any booms left
in you well I better chat
okay
no I'm all out of booze oh that's good
we've been doing so much drumming today
I think we could probably all use a
little rest
I think I'll go home and tell
about how much fun we have see you later
I guess with CJ gone things will be a
lot quieter around here yeah and even
though we've seen lots of drums to be
done I know one thing you just can't
beat
