Seserea

A fantastic song for:

  • working with 'do', 're' and 'mi' with older beginners.
  • working with mixed metre.
  • syncopation.
  • singing with boys whose voices are breaking. (As this song only has 3 notes, it is less daunting for the singers who feel self-conscious).
  • creating a percussion part!
