Gordon tells them that chess is not a game that requires cheering and they go off on their way. |

Muppets / Animation | Abby's Flying Fairy School The students are in the middle of music class, but the music they make isn't too great. Abby requests they just use magic to play their instruments, but Mrs. Sparklenose says practice is the right path. A flying boombox swoops in the window and they press "play," releasing Morty the Musical Muse (who speaks in rhyme). Before he can leave, they must pass his three challenges. With a wave of his baton, Abby's trombone flies out of control. In order to get down, she must change the pitch; by playing high notes, she goes higher, and by playing low notes, she makes it back to the ground. Next, Gonnigan's maracas shake violently, quaking the entire school. To stop them, he needs to change the tempo. He discovers that means fast and slow and is able to stop the shaking by moving them slowly. Finally, Blögg's drum starts bouncing on top of him and he must change the dynamics of the music (how loud and soft). Blögg grabs the drum and plays it softly, sedating it. The students have learned many new things about music and Morty takes his leave. The kids decide to apply their knowledge and make music instead of having snack time. (First: Episode 4265) |
