Have You Any Work For The Tinker

This three part canon is great for:

  • Teaching 4/4 metre.
  • Learning about an occupation from the 'olden days'.
  • Singing with an ostinato. (Use the last line of the song - the made-up words are very percussive!)
  • Intonation practice - singing rising and falling octaves in tune!
