Speaker 6: fun of play learning. Today we're examining music. I think
Speaker 6: we all have songs that we love to hear, but
Speaker 6: what makes them sound so good? Today the Lingo Kids
Speaker 6: friends are going to be figuring that out, and it
Speaker 6: might not be as easy as they think. Let's check
Speaker 6: on the rehearsals. I think Elliott is practicing right now.
Speaker 2: Ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dog. Wow, I
Speaker 2: sound great. Oh but maybe it's just a shower ding
Speaker 2: dong ding dong Nope, still great. I wonder how Colie's

Speaker 6: I'd better get down to the recording studio.
Speaker 1: I meet up with Elliott, Cowie and Billy.
Speaker 6: What do you think, lingo kids listeners? How do you
Speaker 6: think the friends will sound when they all sing together?
Speaker 8: All right, everyone, I'm your recording engineer. I'll be the
Speaker 8: one recording your song today. Can you step into the
Speaker 8: booth please?
Speaker 2: Wow, it's so cool in here.
Speaker 5: I feel like a professional singer.
Speaker 8: Okay, everyone ready, I'll count you in a one and
Speaker 8: a two hard.
Speaker 5: Let's try that one again? King ing, wait for my cue? Please?
Speaker 1: What's a cue?
Speaker 2: The bandy?
Speaker 5: Let's take it from the top the top of what
Speaker 5: Maybe we should just take five?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: I love that song? Just take five?
Speaker 7: Just take five?
Speaker 5: Sound Christmas this year?
Speaker 3: But wait, Christmas isn't here yet.
Speaker 5: Why are we doing this song?
Speaker 1: People listen to Christmas songs earlier and earlier every year.
Speaker 3: It'll be perfect.
Speaker 5: WHOA, what's that?
Speaker 1: It's like the sound of flower makes when it blooms.
Speaker 1: It's the sound of the sun rising.
Speaker 2: It's the sound that a little bird makes when it
Speaker 2: takes to the air for.
Speaker 5: The very first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Actually it's my friend, your friend. Sure, that's Cynthia. She's
Speaker 6: a professional singer and songwriter. I think she's working on
Speaker 6: her new album. Maybe we can peek in and say, hi.
Speaker 3: Sin, Hi, come in.
Speaker 6: We are working on recording a song too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool. How's it going. It's not so great.
Speaker 7: Actually, we're actually not fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kanka, No, not really. Oh not great. Hey, well
Speaker 3: maybe I can help. Let's hear what you got what?
Speaker 9: Oh, let me guess you all have been rehearsing by yourselves.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I guess. Well this shouldn't be too hard
Speaker 3: to fix. Really, we're stipreddy new at this. When did
Speaker 3: you start singing?
Speaker 6: Sin?
Speaker 9: I started writing music or just singing out loud, making
Speaker 9: up songs.
Speaker 3: You know what. I can't remember when I started to
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 9: I must have been three or four years old, when
Speaker 9: I kind of started singing along to the radio, or
Speaker 9: when I was alone in my room kind of making
Speaker 9: up songs by myself.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 9: Cool and I've always felt like, because I'm able to
Speaker 9: do that, that music is a friend for me, a friend,
Speaker 9: you know. Even when I'm alone in my room, I
Speaker 9: can sing out loud, and I can write about something
Speaker 9: and maybe write a poem or something, and it always
Speaker 9: just kind of feels like I have someone who's listening.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 7: I don't think we're ready for that yet. We sound
Speaker 7: kind of clunky.
Speaker 3: We've just got to get you on beat and on key,
Speaker 3: on beat, on key, exactly. And the best thing you
Speaker 3: can do is listen to each other.
Speaker 4: Sin, But don't we need to focus on our own parts.
Speaker 6: You're right, Elliott, But if you're listening to what's going
Speaker 6: on around you, you can stay on key. Certain sounds
Speaker 6: fit really nicely together, and those make nice music.
Speaker 5: Like the one you just heard from Sin.
Speaker 6: Sin.
Speaker 3: What was your favorite song when you were a kid.
Speaker 9: Well, it's not a very popular song, but it is
Speaker 9: a classic song, so.
Speaker 3: If you don't know it, I encourage you to listen
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 9: It's a song called Crazy by Patsy Klein. And when
Speaker 9: I was growing up, we had these things called cassette tapes,
Speaker 9: and I was so in love with this song that
Speaker 9: my grandmother recorded it on a cassette tape from the radio.
Speaker 9: Bought me a little cassette player and I used to
Speaker 9: play it over and over just by myself.
Speaker 3: And this was before I was in kid What about
Speaker 3: your kids?
Speaker 6: What do they like?
Speaker 9: My daughter is only a year old, So when she's
Speaker 9: when I'm changing her diaper, I sing the Almo La
Speaker 9: La La La La La La La Beatrix's.
Speaker 3: Song, you know, and I put her name in it,
Speaker 3: and I say, can you sing La la la? And
Speaker 3: she tries. So that's kind of how I'm introducing them
Speaker 3: to music.
Speaker 5: That's great.
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody, can you tune in with me?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: You got it. The next thing is that you're all
Speaker 3: going at different speeds.
Speaker 9: Let me show you something. See how I'm keeping a beat.
Speaker 9: You know exactly when the next clap is gonna come? Right,
Speaker 9: I watch, I'll double it.
Speaker 1: Oh and now I still know when the clouds are coming,
Speaker 1: even though you changed it.
Speaker 3: That's right. Don't think about just your part. Think of
Speaker 3: each other and you'll do great.
Speaker 5: Think of each other. You got it.
Speaker 3: Keep following it through.
Speaker 9: If you have an idea and you want to put
Speaker 9: it out through music, you can do it, and it's possible.
Speaker 9: Also keep practicing. If you don't get it the one day,
Speaker 9: you might get it the next.
Speaker 2: That's a good lesson.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that music has taught you?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 9: Music has taught me so much about myself and so
Speaker 9: much about the world. Music has taught me that we
Speaker 9: can connect, you know, in ways greater than just language,
Speaker 9: through just dancing to a beat and and universal themes,
Speaker 9: themes that no matter what language you speak, you you
Speaker 9: understand happiness and sadness, and you know all of that.
Speaker 3: But on a like a personal level.
Speaker 9: Music has taught me to never give up, that there's
Speaker 9: always a solution in my music, to just keep going
Speaker 9: even when it seems hard.
Speaker 4: Wow, thanks sick, you're the best.
Speaker 3: No problem, you're all ready to give it a try.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wha two wha to to.
Speaker 5: Know you.
Speaker 6: Were cut? So were those?
Speaker 7: Also?
Speaker 6: Just say three year? Well, that's our episode and what
Speaker 6: a special one it was with a very special guest.
Speaker 6: We'd like to thank Sin, whose new album comes out
Speaker 6: in November.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 6: We learned a lot about music and also how it
Speaker 6: can translate to our regular lives. If we listen to
Speaker 6: each other and support one another, we can be more connected.
Speaker 6: We'll see you next time.
