Aiken Drum (4-4)

Your class might like to take the crazy words of this song and make some new, silly words of their own!
Great for preparing and practising 'fa' and 'ti'... both these melodic elements are in the context of steps in this version of 'Aiken Drum'!
The rhythmic element 'tum ti' (dotted crotchet, quaver) can also be taught with this fun song!
