Greetings fromBrighton Beach
Dear Musical Explorers,
Welcome to Brighton Beach,
Brooklyn! I was born far away, in
Ukraine, and I grew up in Bulgaria
in Eastern Europe. I started singi
ng
when I was four years old and I
have not stopped since the
n! Where
I come from, we sing to celebrate
special occasions, such as
birthdays, holidays, and weddings.
I will sing these kinds of son
gs for
you at Carnegie Hall. After the con-
cert, write to me and let me know
which songs you liked the bes
t!
Sincerely,
Vlada

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

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