Foreword
Welcome to Musical Explorers!
This program is designed to connect students in grades K–2 to the diverse musical community
of Los Angeles as they build basic music skills through listening, singing, and moving. Students
explore a wide variety of musical styles found in different Los Angeles neighborhoods, learn songs
throughout the year, and perform with the artists at culminating interactive concerts.
Musical Explorers combines skills-based and creative activities that can be integrated into general
and music classrooms. To facilitate planning, this Teacher Guide contains lesson plans, printed
music, background information about musical styles and artists, and Student Guide activity pages.
The companion audio CD provides the songs from each unit plus learning tracks. Teachers are
encouraged to start each lesson with warm-up exercises (found in the Introduction Unit) to help
students develop healthy, age-appropriate vocal technique.
The Teacher and Student Guide pages, audio files, and additional digital resources are
available on the Musical Explorers Resources page, which can be found at thebroadstage.com/
MusicalExplorers.
We hope you enjoy the journey!
Exploration
How can music represent the spirit of a community?
Key Objectives
Musical Explorers are students and teachers who look for the answers to this question as they
• meet singers whose music represents different musical styles and cultural communities
• sing and move to the artists’ songs
• make connections between the artists’ music, their Los Angeles neighborhoods,
and their cultures
• explore patterns that authentically represent the unique sound of each artist’s music
4
How to Use This Guide
With your guidance, Musical Explorers develop habits of active and engaged listening through a process
that includes using recurring prompts, follow-up questions, modeling, and short, repeated listening.
P
rompts: As students encounter new songs throughout the curriculum, ask them questions about
the music. We have included some scripted suggestions, which appear in italics. These prompts are
purposefully very open to help familiarize students with the process of noticing and articulating specific
aspects of the music.
• What do you hear in this music?
• How would you move to this music?
• What words can you use to describe this music?
• How does this music make you feel?
Follow-Up Questions: Here are some examples of questions that might be used in addition to the above
prompts to further expand your students’ ideas. Young students may need to be offered some choices until
they develop more confidence in their own vocabulary and abilities. Follow-up questions may include:
• Can you tell me a little more about that?
• Can you show me that with your hands by
clapping or tapping, or by moving your body?
• Can you sing it for me?
• What do you think the musicians are feeling?
What makes you think that?
• What are the instrumentalists doing? What is
the singer doing?
• Is the music busy or calm, loud or soft, high or
low, smooth or bumpy?
Modeling: At the beginning of the year, it may be helpful to model responding to your own prompts.
Modeling can also be facilitated through appointing student leadership roles in the classroom, allowing
students to learn from their peers.
Repeated Listening: As you facilitate listening and discussion, it will be helpful to remember these tips
for the “What did you hear in this music?” prompt:
• Play examples more than once and spread listening across many lessons. Unfamiliar music takes
time to absorb, process, and respond to.
• Play back short excerpts of the music by pausing the CD player after each section.
• Ask the prompts while listening to a song, since it may be more difficult for students to recall
a musical detail or observation when the music exists only in memory.
Making the Invisible Visible: To help young students actively listen to and engage with music, look
for ways to make the invisible world of music visible, and whenever possible, kinesthetic. In Musical
Explorers, these methods include:
• singing melodies
• clapping and tapping rhythms (body percussion)
• counting rhythms
• drawing sounds
• connecting narrative ideas with music
• dancing
• connecting cultural images with music
Lesson Timings: Each lesson is built for a class period duration of approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
5
Options for Teachers
Creative Extensions: These extensions are designed to continue the exploration of repertoire
and concepts beyond the concert program. We encourage you to delve deeper into the music and
cultures explored through these activities and to share your experiences with other classes, parents,
members of the school community, and The Broad Stage staff.
Musical Word Wall: We encourage you to keep a word wall and add each of the below vocabulary
words as they are introduced in the lessons, along with any other terms you might choose to add.

Music Educators Toolbox: Carnegie Hall’s Music Educators Toolbox provides activities, worksheets,
audio and video resources, and assessments. Browse resources by grade level, skills and concepts,
musical genres, instruments, national standards in music, and other criteria selected to serve the needs
of educators. All materials are free for use at carnegiehall.org/toolbox.
Options for Teachers of Students with
Special Needs
• Students can participate in Musical Explorers in a variety of ways and may learn the songs by
singing, moving, and/or clapping. You may also want to focus on smaller sections of the songs.
Since you know your students best, allow them to participate in ways that will help them feel
the most successful.
• Encourage students to engage with the music using tangible objects, such as handmade
instruments (e.g., cups with beans for shakers), rhythm sticks, and drums.
6
• Allow time for students to experience the music and repeat as often as necessary. The lessons outlined in
this curriculum may take additional time and span more than one class period. Use one-step directions
and visuals as often as possible to help students understand the concepts.
• Some visual aids are provided within the curriculum and at the Musical Explorers concerts, but you may
wish to provide additional resources to help your students engage with the material. If you have ideas for
elements to include in future curricula, please send them to [email protected].

Meet the Artists
Magda, Greek Folk Music
Greek-born singer and accordionist Magda Giannikou composes music that
taps into a wide range of international influences. In addition to Greek, Magda
performs in French, as well as in six other languages. Banda Magda forays into
Brazilian baião rhythms, Greek dance music, jazz, samba, tango, and more.
Gustavo, Klezmer Music
Gustavo Bulgach is a musician, composer, educator, producer, and band leader.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he lived and learned music until
1992. He moved to New York in 1993, and eventually moved to Los Angeles. From
there, he formed the band “Black Coffee and Jam”, which became the House of
Blues Foundation House Band for over 6 years. Gustavo has also worked with
several artists such as EL GENERAL, Jumpin’ Jimes, Adam Rudolph and GO!
The Organic Orchestra, among many others.
The Honeys, Americana Folk Music
The Honeys explore harmony in folk, bluegrass and any melody that catches the
ear. Through their powerful, yet sweet harmonies, body percussion, haunting
melodies and vitality on stage, The Honeys captivate and move audiences. The
Honey’s foundation in jazz gives them an inherent flexibility to their sound,
allowing them to change and adjust their tone to best fit the mood of each
song. They have performed all over the United States and won the Harmony
Sweepstakes National Competition.

Introduction
Lesson 2: Exploring Our Voices
Aim: What happens in our bodies when we breathe, hum, and sing?
Summary: Students explore their singing and talking voices. The exercises learned may be done as a
warm-up. It may take some time for students to know and feel that their singing and talking voices are
very different from each other.
Materials: Musical Explorers CD, Musical Explorers Student Guide Pages
Standards: US 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9; VAPA Music 2.4
Vocabulary: h
umming, vibrations
What Happens When We Breathe?
• Have students find a partner to explore what happens when taking a breath. Have one student take a few slow,
deep breaths into their bellies. Encourage students not to lift their shoulders as they take deep breaths. Have
the other student watch what happens.
• What is happening inside your bodies as you breathe?
• Is anything moving? What is moving?
• Can you describe what you feel?
• What happens when you raise both hands in the air, take a deep breath, and then lower your hands
while you exhale? Does that feel different? How so?
• What happens when you lean over, touch your toes, and take a deep breath? How does that feel different?
•
What Happens When We Hum?
• Have students perform a few long sounds by singing or humming, which is singing without opening one’s lips.
While they hum or sing, tell them to touch their noses, cheeks, throats, necks, backs, and chests.
• What do you feel?
• Does anything change when you hum or sing instead of speak?
• What do you think is happening? Why?
• Explain that all sounds are caused by vibrations, or movements, that go through the air. Without vibrations,
music and sounds would not exist. By touching our throats when we hum, speak, or sing, we can actually feel
the wiggly vibrations created by our vocal folds.
• Have students alternate between blowing air (not making sound) and humming, while touching their throats,
so that they can feel the difference between vocal folds vibrating and at rest.

Lesson 2
Introduction
•
Vocal Exercises
• Now that students have felt their own vocal fold vibrations, guide them in discovering what else
their voices can do.
• There are four types of voices: talking, singing, whispering, and calling.
• Have students explore their voices.
• How would you use your voice in the classroom? In music class? In the library? Outside on the playground?
By doing the following exercises often, students will become comfortable with using their singing voices, both high
and low. Feel free to mix and match the following warm-ups, or to create your own to add variety.
Track 4: Have students pretend they are police cars on a chase with their sirens on. To do this, start by
“Sirens”
singing “ooo” on a low pitch and slide up to a high pitch, and then slide back down to a low pitch.
• How can we use our arms to show the different shapes our voices are making?
• Try out students’ ideas of how sirens can sound and look.
“Yawning Kittens”
Track 5: Have students pretend they are sleepy kittens by stretching, yawning, and sighing.
• Model the vocal contour of the yawn and sigh (going from a high to a low pitch).
• Model a swooping contour with your hands and arms.
• Have students mimic you so that they can begin to feel and understand the difference between high and low
sounds by using their bodies and voices.
“Floating Balloon”
Track 6: Have students imagine they are a balloon floating in the wind.
• Model the balloon’s path by moving your arm.
• Make your voice match the contour of the balloon’s path (voice starts low and finishes high). Repeat this
several times.
• Have students imitate your arm and vocal movements.
• Experiment with the size and contour of the balloon’s arc, matching the movement with your voice.
• x
Sing the “Musical Explorers Song”
• Warm up students’ voices by singing the “Musical Explorers Song,”
• Begin each class by listening to or performing this song.

• The lyrics “tik tik tak” are words that imitate the sound of the beating of a heart. What other words
describe sounds we hear? (e.g., sizzle, splash, pop, etc.)
• Look at the images on SG10 and write a word to describe the sound that each object makes.
• Choose one of your sounds from SG10 to create a new sound pattern in place of the lyrics
“Tik tik tiki tiki tak.”
• Perform your new sound pattern with the “Tik Tik Tak” accompaniment,

Explore the Accordion
The accordion is a box-shaped musical instrument with a keyboard and
bellows. It is sometimes called a squeezebox, but the first name for
this instrument was harmonika, which is related to the Greek word
for “harmony.” The instrument is played by pushing and pulling apart
the bellows while pressing buttons or keys. The performer usually
plays the melody using the keyboard and the accompaniment with the
bass buttons.

Lesson 2
Greek Folk Music with Magda
Creative Extension: Perform in the Greek Theater Tradition
In ancient Greece, stories and plays were performed by a leader and a chorus. The leader acted out the story
without speaking by using masks and gestures while the chorus told the story in unison.
• Choose a familiar story (e.g., “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” or “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”).
• Assign students to be leaders and other students to make up the chorus.
• Leaders create masks to show different emotions of the characters in the story using construction
paper or paper plates. Brainstorm different dramatic gestures the leaders would use to tell the story
with their masks.
• The chorus speaks or reads the story while the leaders perform the story using their masks
and gestures.

• How could you prepare that type of food differently for a special occasion? (Examples: rice pudding,
garlic bread, chicken tacos, and pasta with meatballs)
• Using SG14, “My New Lyrics for ‘Bulbes,’” have students fill in their chosen type of food to eat every day
of the week, using their “special occasion” food example for the meal on Saturday, or Shabbes.
• Listening to the “Bulbes” accompaniment,
Track 20, and have students sing the song using their
new lyrics.

The Concert
• Review the diverse artists the students have encountered so far.
— Magda (Greek Folk Music)
— Gustavo (Klezmer Music)
— The Honeys (Americana Folk Music)
• Look at SG2-3 and have students find the countries represented on the map.
• What do you remember about the artists and their music? Brainstorm a list of responses
with the students.
• Listen to a brief excerpt by each of these artists on the Musical Explorers CD.
• As a class, brainstorm some questions the students could consider during the concert. Have the students
try to answer the questions for one another after attending the performance.
• Lead a discussion with students about the roles of performer and audience member (or listener) during
a concert. Brainstorm ideas about these roles and document them on chart paper. Have students narrow
down the list by voting on their favorite two ideas per role.
• Divide the class in half, with one half acting as performers and the other half acting as audience members for a song from Musical Explorers. Facilitate a reflective discussion with students about how each
group did. Invite the groups to share one aspect of what they liked and one thing that could be improved
for themselves and the other group. Perform the song again, switching so that the students take on the
opposite role. Repeat the reflection.
• to The Broad Stage!
