A Musical Journey Through the African Savannah

Composer: Lynn Zettlemoyer
Format: CD
Version: Performance/Accompaniment CD

Let's go on a safari with Ward and Lilly, Didi, Daniel, Melissa, Wally and a host of safari guides! Through song and dialogue, we'll learn about the exciting African Savannah wildlife of lions, giraffes, geckos, bushbabies, servals, weaverbirds, crocodiles and elephants!

Either as a staged performance with characters or simplified speaker parts for a revue-style presentation, this well crafted mini-musical will create a smart and fun-filled learning experience for students and audiences. The Teacher Edition is filled with quality performance material including piano/vocal arrangements, a helpful production guide, and 2 script options: an engaging and fact-filled drama script with a lively collection of 9 characters that will entertain your audience, and a narration script which can be read by 2-25 (or more!) characters. Split or combine some of the lines to meet your specific needs. Singer PDFs are included via digital download. To perform with recordings, there are 2 options. A Performance/Accompaniment CD is available separately. For cost-saving value, the Performance Kit/Audio includes the Teacher Edition (with downloadable Singer PDFs) and perf/accomp audio recordings via digital download. About 35 minutes in length. Suggested for grades 2-5.
