Kaeru No Uta (Frog's Song)

This simple and appealing 3 part canon is great for:

  • Introducing three part canons.
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'too' (minim / half note).
  • Teaching the melodic element 'fa'.
  • Teaching 4/4 metre.
  • Teaching melodic sequence (d-rm-f-m-r-d; m-f-s-l-s-f-m)
