EXPLORE THE WORLD THROUGH MUSIC
Hi. I don’t think we’ve met before. I’m Jollip, world-famous music monster and friend to kids everywhere. When I heard the very first Boombox Classroom show, the one about Rhythm, I told Marty she needed me on the show, because I’ve got the pipes and the moves (that means I can sing and dance. Actually, most monsters can).
So I’m not in the first show, but when Marty realized she couldn’t do the show without me, she hired me for all the rest of the shows. I sing and I dance. In fact, I’m the star of the show. So, I hope you’ll listen and try out the work sheets, and don’t forget to check out my picture gallery. I’m so handsome, it can be embarrassing sometimes.
To get started, look over there. ——–>

FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS:
Boombox Classsroom is a series of curriculum-based music lessons for kids in grades K-5 based on the national standards for Music Education. We have more than 200 artists on the shows each year, performing live — both world and classical music. We celebrate diversity and promote appreciation of other cultures.
Boombox Classroom teaches kids the fundamentals of music, such as rhythm, harmony, melody, timbre and form. We integrate the music lessons with geography, science, anthropology, math, language, literature, and a lot of history.
You’ll hear the L.A. Guitar Quartet , Bobby McFerrin, Sylvia McNair, 
pipa player Wu Man, violinists Rachel Barton and Cho Liang Lin, cellist Carter Brey, the New York Philharmonic, and musicians from Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, the Caribbean, Asia, and of course, the United States.
