Alyssa walked up to the duckpond and sat down on the water's edge. She pulled out some bread that she had picked up from breakfast and pinched off bits of bread and fed it to the ducks. As she saw them floating along in the pond, Alyssa decided that here was a good place as any to practice the spells that she had learned in Magical Musical Theory class.

She pulled out the case carrying the pan flute and the sheets of music from her backpack. She removed the pan flute from her case, brushed off leaves from a nearby stone, and placed the pan flute on it. She then leaved through the music sheets until she found one and placed it on her lap. Taking out her wand, Alyssa first practiced casting the Tuning spell. She concentrated on the spell and how loud she wanted it to sound. Then placing her wand next to ear, said,"EMODULAR A". Immediately she heard the sound of the A note next to her ear. It was soft but clear. "Okay the tuning sound worked. Now to play some music."Alyssa said to herself.

She picked up the music sheet and studied the music notes as it moved up and down the scale. This song was an old one but still popular in the Muggle World. She recalled the song in her mind and concentrated on how she wanted the pan flute to play it. Alyssa picked up her wand again and pointing at the music sheet, said "LUDO TOTALUM", before turning to the pan flute lying on the stone and drawing a circle with her wand over it, said, "LUDO SOLUS". Immediately the flute began to play the song. Alyssa listened to it play as she continued to feed the ducks. She hoped that ducks liked listening to the song too.
