One Cold And Frosty Morning

This lively American Folk Song is great for:

• Teaching melodic sequence (at the end of lines 2, 3, and 4 - part of this musical sequence that repeats is also at the end of line 1)
• Working with an octave - last line of the song, from 'do' to 'high do'.
• preparing the rhythmic element 'ka-tim'
• working with the melodic element 'low ti'- in the first line of the song, in the context: do - low ti - do - re.

Teaching idea: split the class into 4 groups with each group singing one line of the song to reinforce the melodic sequences and then all sing the last line together!
