Debka Hora

  • A fantastic song for teaching the rhythm 'ti-tika'.
  • Great for practising the melodic element 'ti' in a minor tonality.
  • Try making up simple steps to make this into a dance.
  • Kids love repeating the song faster each time!
  • As an extra challenge, have your students sing SOFTER as they get FASTER.
