The story

Professor Owl, who rushes to the schoolhouse full of his fine feathered students as a drum roll, is played on a snare. A brief musical section introduces "the subject for today": the study of musical instruments. Professor Owl explains to the class (and the viewer) that all music originates from four core sounds: toot (brass), whistle (woodwind), plunk (strings) and boom (percussion).
