I Wonder When I Shall Be Married

This lively song is great for:

  • Singing in 6/8 metre.
  • Singing in Major tonality.
  • Practising 'fa' and 'ti'.
  • Teaching fermata (pause).

You might like to give your students the lyrics to verse 1 and ask them to predict what key signature, tempo, tonality etc. the song might use. Then play/sing the song and compare and contrast their answers with how the song was written!
