Professor Majorchord's Music Lesson

Professor Majorchord's Music Lesson is the twentieth episode of the second season of The Kidsongs Television Show.

Plot

Today's theme of this show is music and musical instruments. Billy and Ruby also get in to the musical mood, too, as the hosts talk about the many different instruments we can all play! Professor Majorchord will also show us that the orchestra uses four sections: the strings, brass, percussion and woodwind. As Billy plays many different instruments like the keyboard, drums (especially when he likes all drums and demonstrates the tympani), guitar, and flute, each instrument will be featured in each song. It's gonna be a musical day for the kids and the Biggles to enjoy! Then Mr. Frost comes into the Kidsongs studio to join in on the musical fun.
