Premise[edit]

This series on classical music was hosted by David Ouchterlony, with soprano Manley Stark. It was geared towards children aged between five and eight, compared to Ouchterlony's previous series Let's Make Music which was geared towards older children. Episodes featured puppet characters operated by John and Linda Keogh such as Cellini (a cello), Clarence (a clarinet) and Whisper. The characters were voiced by Len Davidson and Pegi Loder. Games, stories and songs were also featured on Mr. O.[1]
