Here is a manual for the Seiko Melody in Motion Wall Clock, Model # QXM123BRH:
Getting Started
Insert one "AA" size alkaline battery into the clock's battery compartment.
Set the clock to the correct time by pulling out the time-setting knob and turning it clockwise or counterclockwise to set the time.
Push the knob back in to the "Lock" position to finish setting the time.
Melody Selection
Press the "Demo" button on the clock's front panel to listen to all the available melodies.
To select a specific melody, press the "Melody" button repeatedly until the desired melody plays.
Volume Control
To adjust the volume of the melody, press the "Volume" button repeatedly until the desired volume level is reached.
Light Sensor
The clock is equipped with a light sensor that will automatically turn off the sound and motion sensors when the room is dark.
To disable the light sensor, push and hold the "Light Sensor" button for approximately 5 seconds until the "OFF" indicator appears on the display.
To enable the light sensor, push and hold the "Light Sensor" button again for approximately 5 seconds until the "ON" indicator appears on the display.
Motion Sensor
The clock is equipped with a motion sensor that will detect movement in front of the clock and activate the sound and motion sensors.

To enable the motion sensor, push and hold the "Motion Sensor" button again for approximately 5 seconds until the "ON" indicator appears on the display.
Nighttime Silencer
The clock is equipped with a nighttime silencer that will automatically turn off the sound and motion sensors during a designated period of time.

this is just personal info maybe not the best info ...but if it were me i would use a little sand paper and gently clean the battery terminal (where the connection between battery take place) (careful of the wires) to see if that solves the problem
I have not been able to find instructions online for the Seiko Melodies in Motion Clockpost Willie (a clown figure standing along side a clock on a post.)
The Melodies in Motion clocks are manufactured by Seiko Clocks. This is the link to the Seiko Clocks home page: https://www.seikoclocks.com/
Near the bottom left of the home page, you will see the link to Customer Care. Click or tap on that link.
On the Customer Care page you will see the toll free phone number and the email address to use to ask if the instructions for the clock are available and how your mother can obtain them.
The melodies should change each hour on it's own. You can change the melodies manually by pressing the demo button repeatedly. If the songs don't change each hour, you might try new batteries. I'd recommend Japanese batteries like Fuji, or Toshiba. I use Varta which is a German brand battery that's equivalent to either Duracell, or Energizer, and have no problems. If you've had the clock for a number of years, or have had it hanging in direct sunlight, or near a heat source it could be in need of professional assistance, and or repair. (if possible)
Use vinegar to clean out the battery compartment. It will neutralize the battery acid. Then take what is left of the springs and pull them out so they make contact with the new batteries. Sounds like you got a hold of some bad batteries.
1) Check the volume knob in the back of the Seiko clock to make sure the volume has not been adjusted all the way down. 2) Make sure the on / off switch is set to on. 3) If it is extremely dark in the room, the clock will not play, it has a light sensor. Make sure the room is well lit. 4) There are separate batteries usually that operate the clock and the music. Change the batteries paying special attention to any acid / corrosion caused by old batteries. Clean out any acid and it should play. Also, be careful not to touch the positive or negative contacts on the new batteries, as this could inhibit proper connection.
If you have done each step above and it is still not operating, your clock is defective. Contact Seiko Service Center directly at: 800-722-4452 extension 3.
If you have had the clock less than a year, and it was purchased from an authorized dealer, it is under warranty, and any repairs will be free. Otherwise, there may be a charge for the repair.
