Mexican Woodpecker (3/4)

This catchy, funny song is great for:

  • Working with rests in 3/4 metre.
  • Practising the melodic element 'low ti'.
  • Improvising with body ostinati in triple metre.

For a challenge, come up with body osintati that are 4 or 8 beats long - when singing in triple metre this is a great way to challenge the brain!
