Dear <strong>Musical</strong> <strong>Explorers</strong>,<br />
Welcome to Brighton Beach,<br />
Brooklyn! I was born far away, in<br />
Ukraine, and I grew up in Bulgaria<br />
in Eastern Europe. I started singing<br />
when I was four years old and I<br />
have not stopped since then! Where<br />
I come from, we sing to celebrate<br />
special occasions, such as<br />
birthdays, holidays, and weddings.<br />
I will sing these kinds of songs for<br />
you at <strong>Carnegie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>. After the concert,<br />
write to me and let me know<br />
which songs you liked the best!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Vlada<br />

Dear <strong>Musical</strong> <strong>Explorers</strong>,<br />
Have you heard of the Broadway<br />
musical called The Lion King? I sing<br />
in that show! I live in Morningside<br />
Heights, but I grew up far away,<br />
in a country called South Africa.<br />
When I was your age, I sang all<br />
the time, and even made instruments<br />
from things that I found in my<br />
neighborhood. I really enjoy making<br />
music with my friends, so I have<br />
invited my pals Bongi and Junior to<br />
perform with me at <strong>Carnegie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>.<br />
Write to me and let me know what<br />
you think about the concert!<br />

Getting Ready for Our Second<br />
<strong>Musical</strong> <strong>Explorers</strong> Concert<br />
We have learned so much on our trips to Brighton Beach, St. George,<br />
and Morningside Heights!<br />
LiStEninG<br />
We learned that there are lots of different ways music can help us<br />
to celebrate and communicate. We also learned about making music<br />
with others and how fun it is to add sound effects to music.<br />
LOOKinG<br />
We learned about a new five-note scale with a different mood and<br />
learned five how note to minor write scales it down. on SG 64...<br />

Songs We Know<br />
CREAtinG<br />
We created new rhythms and patterns. We created layers of sounds.<br />
My favorite part about being a <strong>Musical</strong> Explorer in the second part of<br />
the year is:<br />
During this second part of our journey, we’ve learned these songs:<br />
• “Birthdays Come Only Once a Year”<br />
• “Dilmano”<br />
• “Les Berceaux”<br />
• “O Mio Babbino Caro”<br />
• “Thula Mama”<br />
• “Inqola”<br />
We are going to sing and hear these songs at <strong>Carnegie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> with<br />
Vlada, Lynne, and Tshidi!
