A Musical Extravaganza Adventure – Part 3
“Strap yourself in, everybody; this last bit of the journey will be quite the ride.”
🚌🎻🎵
In the third part of this musical trio, Mrs Maestro’s rickety old bus has to go through some tricky and slightly bonkers terrain, including a long dark tunnel, a sticky and slimy swamp, and a wiggly windy road. With the whole orchestra safely onboard the bus, this final leg of the journey does some very peculiar things to the music. And after all a very important member of the orchestra doesn’t turn up as planned, who will step in to keep everyone on time with their beautiful and imaginative hand movements?
“Do you know what adventurers, maybe I could do it? Do you think I can?”

Mentioned in this episode:
Journey With Story Show Notes
Journey with Story is a children's storytelling podcast with a distinctive Celtic flavor, for children ages 4-10.
Join picture book author and Scottish storyteller, Kathleen as she shares a new folktale, fairytale, or one of her own original stories, all rooted in universal themes of hope, love, and kindness. And since stories are a lot like journeys, Kathleen always ends by asking her listeners to find the story “souvenir” – that is some nugget of truth that lingers with you after last word is uttered. It’s a great way to link literature to life. Hope you can join us on our journey.

A Musical Extravaganza Adventure – Part 2
The next stop is the string family from the ice cream parlour! Mrs Maestro's journey to get the musicians in the orchestra to the super-duper concert on time continues. Mrs Maestro gets confused when it's time to pay for all those delicious ice creams, and Connie and her customers come to her aid.
🚌🎻🍦
“Don’t worry Mrs Maestro, let’s do it together. We’ll help you. Isn’t that right gang?”
The next pickup is the brass family from the Great Grand Palace- a royal but somewhat overwhelming experience. And then it’s the percussion family from the disco, and it’s time to dance, dance, dance! In this episode, we continue honing our conducting skills using hand gestures to control the music. But don’t worry, the professional conductor is meeting us at the concert hall to conduct the orchestra in the super-duper concert. But only if we can get the musicians there on time! And now we are running super late!

A Musical Extravaganza Adventure – Part 1
Meet Mrs Maestro- a local bus company owner and music super-fan. Join her, Connie, and Connie’s customers en route to pick up the musicians in an orchestra and get them to the super-duper concert on time.
🚌🎻🎼
“We love music. It sets our imaginations wild and free”.
In this episode (the first of three musical specials), Mrs Maestro’s ancient steam-powered patented route planner blows up, and she is forced to try to remember her route and the order of her pickups. Poor Mrs Maestro’s memory is ‘on the blink’ and believes she’ll never remember. Her grumpy bus driver, Darren, doesn’t help. So it’s up to Connie, the adventurers (you) and her customers to come to the rescue with the power of music. First stop…the park to pick up the woodwind family.
These next three episodes contain original music played by some incredible orchestra musicians. Hold on to your hats; it’s gonna be a musical blast!
