I Had A Little Nut Tree

This lovely English Folk Song is great for:

Working on air support with our singers. They will need consistent air to produce a beautiful legato line for the high 3rd from A-C (at the end of the 1st and 3rd lines) and the low 3rd from D-B (at the end of the 2nd line).
Teaching the rhythmic element 'tum ti' (dotted crotchet, quaver / dotted quarter note, eighth note).
Discovering the Major and minor 3rds.
