Oh We Can Play On The Big Bass Drum

This catchy song is great for:

Teaching instruments and their sounds.
Improvising new instruments and sounds.
You might like to have a small group of children sing an ostinato with the sound of the instrument!
Practising beat (as you make the instrument noises on the beat).
Early preparation for the melodic element 'fi'.
Early preparation for the rhythmic element 'tim-ka'.
