00:00Oh, oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street! Oh, you know, you're just in time, because the

00:10Best Friends Band is gonna play today! And we have two new friends joining us! We're

00:15gonna start right away!

00:17Elmo!

00:18Elmo!

00:19Oh, Elmina, hi!

00:21I rushed over to tell you, we can't play yet.

00:23Huh? But, uh, Elmo just, Elmo just told everybody that the music was gonna start right away.

00:29Hi.

00:30Oh, hi.

00:31Hi.

00:32My brother Dave lost his musical instrument. It's his favorite one, because it comes from

00:37Cuba, where our family's from. I have to help him find it.

00:40Oh, well, okay. Elmo will tell the rest of the band.

00:43Okay. All right. I gotta go that way.

00:46Okay! Elmo will look for it, too!

00:50Huh. Lost musical instrument, huh?

00:53Now, if Elmo were a lost musical instrument, where would Elmo be?

01:00Oh, wait a minute. What's this?

01:05Whoa. What is this?

01:08Huh. This is nerdy Elmo. Elmo's never seen anything like this before.

01:13Hmm. What are you?

01:16Hi, Abby.

01:17Hi, Elmo!

01:18Hi, Abby.

01:19Well, I'm ready to make music. Let's go!

01:22Oh, Abby, Abby, we can't.

01:24See, Nina says they can't play with us until her brother Dave finds his lost instrument,

01:29and it's really important to him, so Elmo's helping her look for it.

01:32Oh, well, I'll help, too!

01:34Okay, what instrument did he lose? Was it a guitar, a piano, a...

01:40How could someone lose a piano? It's so big!

01:45Oh, Elmo. Do you think Dave's the type of person that could lose a whole piano?

01:51Um, no, Abby. Elmo thinks it's probably smaller than a piano.

01:58Let Elmo think. Um...

02:01Uh, Elmo?

02:02Huh?

02:03Elmo, what is that? I've never seen anything like that before!

02:06Yeah, Elmo neither. It was just laying over here.

02:09Oh, well, it sure is new to me.

02:11Yeah.

02:12Look at that. It's made of wood.

02:14Uh-huh.

02:15Ah! And it looks like a big bug!

02:17Yeah, look!

02:18Yay! It does look like a big bug!

02:21Well, you don't find a big wooden bug just every day.

02:25Sure don't.

02:26But what is it for?

02:28Oh, Elmo, I think I know what that is!

02:32Really?

02:33Yeah!

02:34What is it?

02:36Elmo, let me see that.

02:38Here you go.

02:39Okay, listen. As a fairy who spends lots of time in the garden,

02:43I think that this is a garden decoration.

02:46Somebody must have lost it. See? Like the gnomes.

02:49Ah, yeah, maybe.

02:51I mean, what else could it be?

02:52Hey!

02:53Huh?

02:54Whoa, whoa. Nice statue.

02:56Uh, who are you?

02:58Oh, uh, I'm a cricket. I live here in your garden.

03:01My name's Buddy.

03:02Oh.

03:03Hi, Buddy.

03:04Hiya! Hey, I really like your wooden cricket.

03:07It looks just like me.

03:09It's got big legs for hopping.

03:11And look at that, it even has wings for making chirping sounds.

03:15Like this.

03:16Oh.

03:17Yeah, that's a really nice sound.

03:20Thank you.

03:21Only this one won't make that sound because it's made out of wood.

03:25Yeah, you're right.

03:26So what's a wooden cricket for?

03:28We're not sure.

03:30Yeah, we want to find out more about it.

03:32I heard someone say they wanted to find out more about something.

03:35What do you want to find out more about?

03:37Hi, Tamir.

03:38Hi, Tamir.

03:39Oh, sorry, this is Buddy.

03:41Oh, hi.

03:42Honey.

03:43Um, we're trying to figure out what this wooden cricket is for.

03:47Oh.

03:48I've never seen anything like this before.

03:51It's new to me.

03:53But if I had a wooden cricket like this, I would know exactly what to do with it.

03:58What?

04:00Make it the star of my next movie.

04:03Whoosh, whoosh.

04:04Here comes Captain Cricket from Planet Chirp.

04:08Ooh.

04:09I would go see that movie right now.

04:13Right now.

04:14We're supposed to play music with Nina and Dave right now.

04:17Right.

04:18But Nina said that the band can't play until we find Dave's lost instrument.

04:23Yeah, we're helping to find it.

04:25Well, I can help.

04:26What kind of instrument did he lose?

04:28Well, you know what it is.

04:29It's a...

04:30We don't know.

04:31Oh, okay.

04:32Well, we should ask them.

04:34If we know what kind of instrument is lost, that'll make it a lot easier to find.

04:38Ooh, he is smart.

04:40He's a...

04:41Whoa.

04:42Yeah, well, Tamir's right.

04:44We should go ask him what kind of instrument they lost.

04:46Yeah.

04:47Bye, Buddy.

04:48Bye, Buddy.

04:49So long, so long.

04:50Good luck.

04:53I'll help if we know what we're looking for.

04:55Yeah, right.

04:56Oh, did Nina and Dave find the missing instrument yet?

04:59Not yet, Elmo. Todavía.

05:00I really need to find it.

05:02It's my favorite.

05:03My uncle gave it to me when I was just a little kid in Cuba.

05:06What kind of instrument is it?

05:08Well, it's a guiro.

05:10You found it!

05:12We found it!

05:13We found it!

05:14Yay!

05:15Oh, what did we find?

05:17That.

05:18My musical instrument.

05:20This wooden cricket is a musical instrument?

05:23Mm-hmm.

05:24Is it a new kind of instrument?

05:26Here you go.

05:27Thanks.

05:28Mm-hmm.

05:29Well, Elmo, it's new to you if you've never seen one before.

05:31Yeah.

05:32It's called a guiro.

05:33Lots of people all over the world play guiros.

05:36Fascinating.

05:38It is fascinating.

05:40When you find something new, you can learn all about it.

05:43Come check it out.

05:44Yeah, for sure.

05:45Okay.

05:46Yeah.

05:48Look, we have some here.

05:50So here is a guiro made out of a gourd.

05:52Yeah.

05:53And one made out of metal.

05:54Okay.

05:55And some made out of wood.

05:56Oh, I like that turtle.

05:58Oh, it does look like a turtle.

06:00And look, it even has a place to hold the stick.

06:02Cool.

06:03Cool.

06:04Nina and I are from Cuba where lots of people play the guiro.

06:07This guiro is special to me because this is the one my uncle taught me how to play on.

06:12Oh.

06:13Well, Elmo wants to know how Dave makes music with the guiro.

06:17Guiro.

06:18Guiro.

06:19Right, Elmo.

06:20Well, a guiro is a percussion instrument.

06:22A percussion instrument is something that you hit, shake, or scrape to make music.

06:27Oh, like my drums.

06:31Or my tambourine.

06:33Yeah, that's right.

06:34You play a guiro by scraping a stick over the ridges.

06:37Like this.

06:39Or like this.

06:43Or by tapping it with a stick.

06:48Listen, what does this sound like?

06:53It sort of sounds like a cricket.

06:55Yeah.

06:56All right, everybody grab one.

06:58Okay.

06:59Here, I got it.

07:07Okay, best friends band, it's time to play.

07:11Let's go.

07:12Let's go.

07:13Count us in, Camille.

07:14You got it.

07:15One, two, three, four.

07:18Somebody come and play.

07:20Hey, everybody.

07:21Somebody come and play today.

07:24Somebody come and smile a smile and sing those songs.

07:29It won't take long.

07:31Somebody come and play today.

07:36Yeah.

07:37That was great.

07:39Celebrating me, celebrating you, celebrating us.

07:45George and Isabelle are playing guiros.

07:49You're making great music.

07:52Thanks.

07:53Let's see how many different sounds we can make with guiros.

08:01Tap with a stick.

08:03That's one.

08:07Scrape with a stick.

08:08That's two.

08:09Is that all?

08:11Scrape with a stick.

08:12That's two.

08:13Is that all?

08:14Let's see if it can make a different sound.

08:17I use this.

08:22Yeah, that's another sound.

08:24We found three different sounds we can make.

08:28Yeah.

08:29Great work, rhythm makers.

08:32Hey, you can try making sounds at home, too.

08:37Elmo knows that music.

08:39It's time for the letter of the day.

08:41Come on.

08:43Jump up, get down.

08:45Come dance with Elmo.

09:36I is for instruments.

09:38Today, me and my mom are going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

09:42It's one of my favorite places to visit.

09:44Luca, are you excited to see the musical instruments gallery today?

09:47Yes.

09:48I even brought my own violin.

09:50This is Jason.

09:51He works at the museum as a curator.

09:54Curators make all kinds of decisions about what we see in the museum.

09:58Jason knows all about the instruments.

10:00Well, hello, Luca.

10:01Hello, Mariella.

10:02Hi, Jason.

10:03Are you ready to look at some instruments today?

10:04Yeah, let's do it.

10:06Wow, these look so interesting.

10:08Yeah, really cool drums.

10:10One of the great things about them is they come from all over the world.

10:13Here's a drum that comes from West Africa.

10:16It's called a djembe drum.

10:17And I play it by using my hands.

10:22Are you ready to see some other instruments?

10:24And now we're standing in the string section of the galleries.

10:27These are very special string instruments because you use a bow to play them.

10:31Just like how you play my violin.

10:33That's exactly right.

10:34Just like your violin.

10:35And then there are members called violas.

10:37There are cellos.

10:38And now there's one more instrument I want to show you before you leave.

10:41This is the oldest piano in the world.

10:43It's more than 300 years old, and it still plays.

10:48Hey, I know that song.

10:49It's one of my favorites.

10:51Do you want to join me?

10:52I'd love to.

10:55I is for Instrument.

13:12Hi, Cookie Monster and Gonger.

13:13I'm Zoe, and I'm a musician.

13:15After I finish playing my ukulele, I like to eat a healthy snack.

13:19Can you make some banana chips, please?

13:21Of course we can help you, because we are Monster Foodies.

13:28Now, banana chips are good for musicians because banana chips go with music.

13:35Okay.

13:36So what we need...

13:37Wait a minute.

13:38How bananas go with music?

13:40Ba-ma-ma-ma-ma.

13:41Ba-ma-ma-ma-ma.

13:42Ba-ma-ma-ma-ma.

13:43Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.

13:44Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.

13:45Yeah, you're right.

13:46Me see that.

13:47Thank you.

13:48Okay.

13:49So what we need to make banana chips, Chef Gonger?

13:53To make delicious ba-na-na-na-na-na chips, we need ba-na-na-na-nas, salt, and cinnamon.

14:03Okay.

14:04Me got salt here, and here the cinnamon.

14:10Oh, it smells good.

14:12And the last ingredient, two ba-na-na-na-na-nas.

14:21Cookie Monster, you ate the ba-na-na-na-na-nas.

14:26What?

14:27Me?

14:28Me?

14:29Me?

14:30Yeah, me ate the bananas.

14:31Oh, I suppose we'll get more ba-na-na-na-nas from the farm.

14:36Okay.

14:37Come on, let's go.

14:38Let's go.

14:39Wow.

14:40Oh, banana peel on the floor.

14:43Clean it up later.

14:50To the ba-na-na-na-na-na-na farm.

14:53Banana farm.

14:54Banana farm.

14:55Go to the ba-na-na-na-na-na farm.

14:59Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

15:01Here we are at the ba-na-na farm.

15:04Hello, Mrs. Banana Farmer.

15:06We need ba-na-nas to make ba-na-na chips.

15:08Can you help us, please?

15:09Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.

15:12We have lots of ba-na-nas because ba-na-nas grow all year round.

15:17Ba-na-nas are fruits that grow on the ba-na-na plant.

15:20This is the flower of the ba-na-na plant.

15:24We cover the ba-na-nas to protect them from insects, animals and birds while they continue to grow.

15:30These ba-na-nas are big enough to harvest.

15:34Harvest means to pick the ones that are ready.

15:38We harvest them when they're green.

15:40Then they're packed so that they don't get bruised.

15:44Then they're washed and split into bunches.

15:47And while they're on their way to grocery stores and farm stands, they start to turn yellow.

15:54Here you go. Fresh ripe ba-na-nas for your ba-na-na chips.

15:58Thank you, Ba-na-na Farmer.

15:59Thank you.

16:00Ba-na-nas, ba-na-nas, we're going home with ba-na-nas.

16:06Okay, Chef Gonger, how we make ba-na-na chips?

16:09Oh, well, let's check the recipe.

16:13First, peel and slice two ba-na-nas.

16:17One ba-na-na, two ba-na-nas. Okay, you slice.

16:22Two ba-na-nas.

16:26Now add a pinch of salt.

16:31And a sprinkle of cinnamon.

16:35Oh, yeah.

16:36Okay, and now me put it in the oven.

16:39Into the oven.

16:43And the second ba-na-na-na-na was too ripe.

16:49But the third ba-na-na-na-na was just right.

16:54Yeah.

16:55Ba-na-na-na-na.

16:56Ba-na-na-na-na.

16:57Ba-na-na-na-na.

16:58Ba-na-na-na-na.

16:59Ba-na-na-na-na.

17:00Ba-na-na-na-na.

17:08Bye-bye, ba-na-na-na-na.

19:58Because I'm so excited about musical instruments.

20:02Oh, ha, ha.

20:03Well, that's perfect, Smarty,

20:05because Elmo wants to learn all about instruments.

20:09Well, what do we do to learn something new?

20:12We look it up.

20:15Searching for instruments now.

20:18Neat.

20:19An instrument is anything you use to make music.

20:22Some instruments you play with your hands, like piano.

20:25And some instruments you play with your hands and your mouth, like a flute.

20:30Sometimes you play musical instruments with a special tool.

20:34You need a bow to play a cello.

20:37There are different kinds of instruments from all over the world.

20:40Taiko drums from Japan.

20:42The didgeridoo from Australia.

20:44And if you practice a lot, you can learn to make really cool music with instruments.

20:49Wow, cool.

20:51Thanks for looking it up, Elmo's Smarty.

20:54I love leaving on a high note.

20:57Bye-bye.

21:01Bye.

21:02Thank you, Smarty.

21:04Boy, hearing all those instruments gives Elmo an idea.

21:10Let's play a game together.

21:13Yeah.

21:14Come on, come on.

21:15Yeah.

21:22Elmo wonders if we can match the musical instruments to the sounds they make.

21:28Are you ready?

21:30Let's play.

21:31Let's listen to the first instrument.

21:34Is this the right instrument?

21:37No, that's a drum.

21:40Hmm.

21:41Is that sound a piano?

21:44That's it.

21:45It's a piano.

21:46You play the keys of a piano to make music.

21:49Let's play again.

21:51Does this instrument make that sound?

21:54No, that's a trumpet.

21:57How about this?

21:59Yes, you play drums with drumsticks.

22:02Cool beat.

22:04Now let's listen again.

22:06Was that a trumpet?

22:09Let's find out.

22:10Yes, you blow into a trumpet.

22:13That makes music.

22:15Boy, Elmo loves all the different sounds that musical instruments can make.

22:21Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

22:25Elmo wonders if Mr. Noodle knows how to play a musical instrument.

22:30Let's ask him, okay?

22:32Hey, Mr. Noodle.

22:35Hi, Mr. Noodle.

22:39Mr. Noodle, do you play an instrument?

22:43You do?

22:44Really?

22:45Can you show us how to play an instrument, please?

22:48Yeah, play us a song.

22:51Oh, boy.

22:52Wait a minute.

22:54No, that's not an instrument.

22:57No?

22:58Try again, Mr. Noodle.

23:00Where's he going?

23:01Whoa!

23:02Oh, he's doing it.

23:04He's playing a musical instrument.

23:07That's a lot of instruments, Mr. Noodle.

23:10You did it, Mr. Noodle.

23:13Elmo thinks you must have practiced really hard.

23:17Oh, yeah.

23:19Great job, Mr. Noodle.

23:21Bye-bye.

23:22Boy, learning new things makes Elmo so happy.

23:27It makes him want to dance.

23:29Come on.

23:30Happy, happy, dance, dance.

23:32Happy, happy, dance, dance.

23:34When we learn something new, we do the happy dance, dance.

23:38Let's see your happy dance.

23:40Yeah, cool.

23:42See you next time.

23:43Keep learning.

23:44Elmo loves you.

23:46Happy, happy, dance, dance.

23:48Happy, happy, dance, dance.

23:50When we learn something new, we do the happy dance, dance.

23:55Yay!

23:58We hope you had fun seeing and learning

24:00about musical instruments with us.

24:02Yeah.

24:03At first, we didn't know that wooden cricket

24:05was a musical instrument.

24:07But it is, and it's called a guiro.

24:10Isn't that amazing?

24:11Yeah.
