Thanksgiving

Some suggestions for using this simple song:

Sing for practise of large intervals.
Introduce with a melodic dictation (testing/practising the recognition of large intervals).
Use to prepare, make conscious or practise the rhythmic element 'tum ti'.
Give students the words and have them figure out which time signature would fit the words and have them set the words to a rhythm and a melody.
