Sing me lots of different songs with simple structures that I can understand
Help me to understand how music works by singing me whole songs with simple structures that I can follow
- Start with children’s songs, with actions to help make the structure clear, such as ‘The wheels on the bus’
- Try folk songs and working songs from your culture, like ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor?’
- Sing pop songs (which often have simple structures) like ‘We will rock you’ and ‘Hallelujah’
- Try classical melodies from your culture: for example, in the West, ‘Ode to joy’ and ‘The hallelujah chorus’
- Sing some of the songs from this website – start with those that have actions like ‘All join in!’
- Gradually sing longer and more complicated songs
