Animals Love Music, too!

Everyone loves a good animal video. Play one and even the most serious of people will crack a smile. I compiled a few music related animal videos that will entertain! Enjoy!
(Please note: if you are a blog subscriber, you may need to click through to the blog to watch the videos).


Dancing Elephants

Violinist Eleanor Bartsch: "Me warming up for my performance of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI. I decided to go outside and play a bit for Kelly and Viola, 44 and 45 year-old elephants that have lived together for most of their lives. I found out that elephants REALLY like Bach..."



Koko Plays the Keyboard

Koko Flix:
"Koko likes to experiment with many forms of art and technology...Here Koko tries out a new, flexible, electronic keyboard, and improvises a little tune (music and rhythm) while Penny records it. When Penny plays back the tune, Koko seems to like what she hears, signing "Koko love."
Like sign language, music can be another dimension of interspecies communication. It's another window into the mind, heart and soul of another being, and lets us share something that's universal — joy."
