But uh, who are you playing with?

Last time she looked for me, so now

- Oh!
Well, I'm very glad you're taking turns!
- Whoa. - And that's --
- Hang on! (laughs)
You must be seeing things, sissy!
There aren't any elephants around here.
Elephants are great big with huge feet
and flapping ears and they make a big sound like
(trumpeting)
- Whoa!
(laughing)
- That's what an elephant sounds like!
And they use their long noses to make sound.
Only they're not called noses
on elephants, heh, they're called trunks!
- [Barney] Right!
(ding)
- Hi, everybody!
- Hi, Riff!
- Oh, that was a tee-riffic elephant sound you made!

- Tippity top!
Oh, can I play, too?
- Uh-huh! - Cool!
- But I'm telling ya, there aren't
any elephants hiding here!
Barney, please tell 'em what a real elephant is like!

Since you said please.

- Bye-bye!
- Bye! - See you later!
- You were good little elephants!
- They were pretend elephants, sissy, not real ones!
- I know, B.J., but I saw a real elephant
with my own two eyes!
- Aye, aye, aye!
- Eyes are very important!
They let us see the world around us
in all its beautiful colors!
- Like bright purple flowers!
(dings)
- (laughs) Oh, right!
And we can also see shapes!

- Oh, like the hopscotch square.

And, our eyes also let us see how things move.

And it sounded like this:

[Riff] And now I see it!
It's a bird!
I see what color it is, what shape it is,

Nope, no elephant in there.
We'll just have to keep hide-and-seek-ing

Oh, she can't hear us right now.

Hi, Tyler and Tracy.
I was just fixing my hearing A*DS.

- Dana, I'd like you to meet Riff.
- Hi, Riff.
- Oh, hi. (laughs)
Um, why do you w*r hearing A*DS?
- Because without them, I'm not able to hear very well.
- [Riff] Oh.
- Dana can hear a lot better with her hearing A*DS.

And I'm so glad, 'cause I like to play
the piano, and I like to sing.

(Barney chuckles)
- Oh!
- Good job!
- That was great!
- Yeah, thanks!
- Barney, if I couldn't hear, would I still like music?
- Well, there was once a very famous man
who couldn't hear, and he loved music!
- Oh, who was that?
- Oh, his name was Beethoven.
Come on!
Let's go find out more about him.
- Yeah!
(all talking)
(gentle music)
- Ludwig van Beethoven was a composer.
- What's a composer?
- Well, you know how an author is someone who writes books?
- Mm-hm.
- Well, a composer is someone who writes music.
- Oh.
- Right.
But instead of using ABCs, they use notes, like this.
(piano music)
(chimes)
Even though Beethoven couldn't hear,
he wrote beautiful music.
- (laughs) Hey Barney, how could he write
and play music if he couldn't hear it?
- Well, let's use our imaginations and ask Mr. Beethoven.
(chiming)
(gentle music)
(dinging)
(gentle music)
- Good afternoon, Barney!
- Well hi there, Mr. Beethoven!
- Whoa!
(clacking)
- Tippity-top!
- Is so good to see you!
- You too.
- Can you please write down the names of your friends?
- Well, certainly.
(instrumental music)
- Thank you.
Mr. Beethoven can speak, but he can't hear us,
so I'll write down your names,
and he can read them.
- Oh. Okay.
(mumbling)
- There you go.
- Aha!
Is very nice to meet you, Dana,
Riff,
(Riff laughs)
Tyler,
and Tray-Z.
- Nice to meet you too. - Oh, likewise.
- Now, I believe you were wondering
how it is that I can write music,
even though I cannot hear.
Is this true?
- Mm-hm.
- Try this.
Think of your most favorite song.
("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" instrumental)
Can you hear it?
In your head.
- Yeah.
(Riff laughs)
- That is how it is with my music.
I hear it in my head.
And feel it in my heart.
I imagine what the music sounds like.
- Oh.
- Would you like to hear Mr. Beethoven play the piano?
- Yeah! - Oh, yeah!
- But we don't have a piano.
- I think I can fix that.
- Whoa!
(chimes)
- Cool! - Whoa, look at that!
- Beautiful!
- Well thank you.
- (gasps) Shall I play for you?
- Oh, yes, yes, yes! - Yes, please.
- Come on, everyone.
- Oh, I can't wait! - I'm so excited!
- Here is the music which I wrote.
- Oh!

Very nice.
- Thank you!

- Oh, tee-riffic!

- Wahoo!
- Mr. Beethoven can't hear us!
- I'll get his attention.
Keep clapping.
- [B.J.] Oh, okay. (laughs)
(clapping)
- Beethoven.
- Yay!
(clapping)
- Oh, thank you!
Thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoyed my music.
(piano playing)
- You like the piano, child.
- Oh, yes sir.
- Would you like to play a song with me, Dana?
- Oh, yes sir!
- Oh, a super de duper idea!
- What shall we play?
- May I look through the sheet music?
- Oh!
(instrumental music)
(rustling)
- How about this one?
- One of my favorites.
(Barney chuckles)
("Itsy Bitsy Spider" instrumental)
- Wowzer! (laughs)
That was tippity-top!
- Oh, it sure was.
- Shall we play it through once more?

- Yes, sir!
- Oh, and this time, we can sing along!

- Thank you all.
I hope you will continue to enjoy
my music for many years to come.
- Thanks. - We definitely will.
- Bye!
- Bye-bye!
Well, Riff, you were wondering if you'd
like music if you couldn't hear.
What do you think now?
- Well, you know, I think I would, Barney.
Because even if I couldn't hear it with my ears,
I know I could feel it in my heart.
- Like Mr. Beethoven?
- Yeah!
- It's always fun to listen to music.
- (laughs) And to play it!
- Right.
But the best way to enjoy music
is to share it with the people we love.
