Little Redbird In The Tree (D Major)

This simple, happy song is great for:

  • Teaching ternary form and the terms 'Fine' and 'D.C. al Fine'.
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tim-ka' (dotted quaver, semiquaver / dotted eighth note, sixteenth note).
  • Preparing the melodic element 'ti' (the song also contains 'fa').
