Picard horn

Okay, so imagine you have a big bowl of cereal and you want to eat it. But you don't want to use your hands - that's just messy! So instead, you grab a spoon. The spoon is like a tool that helps you eat your cereal.

Now, musicians also have special tools they use to play their instruments. For example, a trumpet player uses something called a mouthpiece to help make their instrument sound good.

Similarly, a piccolo player (piccolo is a very high-sounding type of flute) might use a picard horn. A picard horn is a tiny piece of metal that attaches to the end of their instrument. It helps the player make higher and louder notes.

So just like a spoon is a tool to help you eat your cereal, a picard horn is a tool to help a piccolo player play their notes better. It's just a small piece that makes a big difference!
