Stir The Wallaby Stew

'Stir the Wallaby Stew' is about the life of an Australian family after their Dad gets put in prison.

This lively song is great for:

  • Preparing and practising 6/8 metre with older beginners.
  • Preparing and practising compound rhythms e.g. ta ti; ti-ti-ti; and 'tum'.
  • Teaching the melodic element 'fa' (with the last phrase of the song).
  • Working with the rhythmic element 'ties' in 6/8 time.
