L'il Liza Jane

This song works as a partner song with 'Great Big House In New Orleans'!
This is a terrific song for teaching the melodic element 'high do'.
The first half of the song can be used to teach the rhythmic element 'syncopa' or the whole song can be used to prepare and practise the rhythms 'syncopa' and 'tum ti'.
The first 'L'il Liza Jane' can be sung as an ostinato through the song.
