Moreton Bay

This traditional Australian Folk Song is fantastic for:

  • Discussing Australian convict history.
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tim-ka'.
  • Working with the melodic elements 'low ti' and 'ti'. (There is no 'fa' in this song.)
  • Working with phrase variations (A1, A2, A3, A2).
