Mal Mal

This Traditional New Guinean song is wonderful for:

Singing with boys! With its limited range of 3 notes, even boys whose voices are breaking can often be cajoled into singing this one!
Teaching 'do', 're' and 'mi' to older beginngers.
Teaching melisma (slur).
Teaching the rhythmic element 'too' to older beginners.
Practising beat in the context of a game.
Fun!!
