Mary Wore A Red Dress

'Mary Wore A Red Dress' is a simple song that is fantastic for:

  • Teaching 2/4 (simple duple) metre.
  • Teaching the melodic element 'fa'.
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'too' (minim / half note).
  • Improvising new words (e.g. 'Mary wore a red hat', 'Harry wore brown boots').
  • Learning students' names by substituting names for 'Mary').
