Let's explore 'Magic' from 'Storm', one of our BBC Ten Pieces.
Written by Judith Weir, this piece tells the story of a magician.
There are three sections in this piece called Elves, Magic Spell, and Moonshine.
There's a separate pattern for each section in the folder.

I love the Magic Spell section.
You can try out the pattern with different sounds.
It's really cool to create your own magic.
You can improvise and play the sounds whenever you like.

Watch me improvise with the backing track.

The pattern for the elf section uses just one note.
This is a great pattern for first time Clarion players.
You can see just how expressive you can be with only one sound.

Play louder.

Or quieter.

Now I'll play along with the backing track.

Let's have a go at the third section, Moonshine.

Now it's your turn.

Have a go at all of the sections and find out which is your favourite.
Why not try making a magic spell with your friends?
