Musical Elephants

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of these things, but it's also something else: they're elephants.

These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation (保护) Center in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages (鼓励) elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a show, the elephants play different instruments, including the drums. They also use their voices and trucks (象鼻) to make sounds.

But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They're very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy other trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group's music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
