Fly Little Swallow

This is a gentle song. You could have a student or even your whole class gently 'soaring' around the room while you sing this song.

The song is a little 'unusual to the ear' because it starts on 're' and finishes on 'do'.

This song works well for:

  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'too-oo-oo' (dotted minim / dotted half note).
