Hi, and welcome to Kids Jam.

I'm Kira Willey, and I'm so happy you're here.

You know, we can all make music in lots of different ways.

We can clap our hands, we can tap our feet, use our voices, we can play a guitar or a drum.

Kids Jam is all about making music.

And today we get to make music with Aaron Nigel Smith and Iya Unplugged.

They flew here from all the way across the country to rock out with us and bring their good vibes here to Kids Jam.

A little later, we'll head to the music room with some friends to create some of our own music and do some movement and mindfulness, too.

But right now, let's get ready to jam with Aaron Nigel Smith and Iya.

- Oh, my goodness.

I'm so excited to rock out with you all today.

We're going to do a song that comes all the way from Liberia, and it's called Fanga Alafia It's the first song that I like to share with all of my friends.

I hope by the end that you're singing along with me, All right, let's do this.

Nice.

So check this out.

It is time for one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite numbers.

Can everyone count with me?

We're going to practice our counting.

It's going to be challenging.

We're going to count all the way up to one!

Ready, set... Go.

One.

You did it!

That's the magic number and the magic word in this song.

All right?

it's one.

And any time you hear me sing one, I've got a job for you at home.

I want you to put one finger in the sky and jump as high as you can and say one.

All right?

Every time you hear me say one, one finger, this guy, jump high as you can and say one - if you believe in unity for you and me, that is.

Let's go!

It's all about one.

So check it out.

It's time for us to do a fun song all about animals.

Anybody out there like animals?

Yeah.

I love animals, too.

I want you to think about the animals that I'm singing about and see if you can guess them.

I'll give you a bunch of clues during the song.

- Welcome to the music room.

You know, we are all about making music here at Kids Jam, and you can make music with us at home, too.

First, let's get ready with a few deep breaths in.

Okay?

Take a long breath in.

Let it all the way out.

Do that again.

Take a long breath in.

Let it all the way out.

How about a little stretch?

Can you put your hands together like this?

Can you do this with us and turn your hands inside out?

Push them away from you.

Pull your belly in.

Press those hands away.

Press them away.

Press them away.

Good.

And let it go.

Give a little wiggle.

A little wiggle, a little jiggle.

Good.

And hold still.

Let's do one more big breath in.

And all the way out.

Now we're ready.

So there are so many sounds we can make with all kinds of instruments.

There are high sounds and low sounds.

Let's listen to some.

So this is my...what?

- Violin.

- It's a violin.

Tell me what you think this sound is.

Is it high or is it low?

- High.

- What do you think?

Yes, that's a high sound.

So what do you think this sound is?

That's a low sound.

Very good.

Let's see if we can make some high and low sounds.

I'm going to give you each an egg shaker.

Here you go.

There you go.

Can you play those?

And let's hear what that sounds like.

Do you feel like that's a high sound or a low sound?

- Low.

- High, high, high.

Huh... Can you find something at home to make a high sound?

Maybe you can tap your fingers on the counter.

Or maybe you could get a box of cereal or rice and shake it to make a high sound.

What else could we do to make a high sound?

- Yeah.

- Use your voice.

We could use our voice.

Anything else that could make a high sound?

- Yeah.

- A maraca.

A maraca.

Let's hear those high sounds.

Everybody shake your shakers.

Let's go.

Yes.

Are you making your high sound at home?

Good job.

Now let's see if we can make a low sound.

Give me those egg shakers.

So let's see what we can make a low sound with.

I found something right here that I bet if I thump it it'll make a low sound.

Ready?

- Low.

- High sound or low sound?

- Low, low.

- Yeah.

Come on, thump it.

Go ahead, give it a thump.

Ooh, that's a good low sound.

Can you do it?

Go ahead.

Whoa.

Maybe you can find something at home to make a low sound.

Come on.

You want to thump it and make a low sound?

Yeah.

There we go.

One more time.

Boom.

One more.

Come on.

Come make a low sound.

Do it really hard.

Yeah.

At home, maybe you could thump on a pillow or stomp your foot on the floor to make a low sound.

So, you know, I think Nico said it.

Our voices are instruments, too.

We could make a high sound with our voices.

Let's try to make a high sound.

Ready?

♪ La la la!

♪ Can you do it with us?

Let's try it again.

Make a really high sound.

Go.

♪ La la la!

♪ How about a low sound?

Can we make a low sound with our voices?

Let's try low.

♪ Low... ♪ Okay.

Pause, deep breath.

Then let's do it again.

Make a low sound with your voice.

Ready.

♪ Low... ♪ Wow.

Very nice, my friends.

That was an amazing job making high sounds and low sounds.

Now let's go back to the Kids Jam studio for more music.

We'll see you next time in the music room.

Bye.

- It's time for one of my favorite songs.

This song has its own word.

Can you say Reggaebility?

Say Reggaebility.

Yeah, we made up a word.

I made this song with my friend Mar.

And my friend Mar is from the alter able community, and I love the fact that we got to write this song together to uplift our friends in the alter able community.

So I hope you'll sing along with Reggaebility.

We all have it inside of each and every one of us - our natural gifts and abilities.

Does anyone like colors?

Yeah.

What's your favorite color?

Yeah, mine is blue and all of the colors of the rainbow, actually.

So I wrote a song that's got lots of lots of colors in it.

What I'd love for you to do is if I sing your favorite color, go ahead and just wave your hands in the air, let me know that you've got your favorite color in my song.

And then in the next part of the song, when I sing about painting a rainbow in the sky, you can use your imaginary paintbrush pulled out of your back pocket.

And you can paint rainbow colors all through the sky.

All right, let's have some fun with the Rainbow Song.
