Nightingale (The)

A great song for teaching some of the easier rhythms in 6/8 time. (There is an anacrusis).
Written in extended do pentatonic scale.
Practise 'high do', 'high re' and 'high mi' with this song.
There are some large intervals in the song - great for a more challenging melodic dictation!
A terrific song for practise pitching 4ths, 5th, 6ths and octaves!
