On Top Of Spaghetti

This well-known traditional song is a favourite for bus trips and around campfires. It is also fantastic for:

  • Working with 3/4 metre.
  • Teaching anacruis.
  • Teaching the melodic element 'fa' (with the last line of the song).
  • Working with ties in 3/4 metre.
  • Singing the tonic arpeggio (d-m-s-d').
