Now listen to this piece of music.
Why did the second piece of music sound better?
How can you tell if music is out of tune?
When music is in tune, it is enjoyable to listen to.
This is called a tuning fork. It is a tool that musicians use to make sure that their instruments are in tune, and it can help people to find the right note to start singing at.
Watch this video clip to see how Mrs Ibbott uses the tuning fork to make sure she sings the right note.
Before an orchestra starts to play, they have to make sure that everyone's instrument is tuned in to everyone else's instrument, otherwise the music will not sound good. Sometimes a conductor will use a tuning fork to set the right note.
Listen to this orchestra tuning up - it isn't really a nice sound, but it gets them ready to play beautiful music.
Can you think of anything else that can be out of tune?
A radio can be out of tune - on the wrong station. Once the radio is tuned in to the right station, we can hear the music or voices.
When musical instruments and voices are all tuned in together, they are really nice to listen to. God created us with voices to use to praise Him, and we do this when we sing to worship Him.
Listen to the song and follow the actions to "Whisper a Prayer", which talks about how praying to God helps us to keep "in tune" (or connected) with Him.
