The Animal Fair (Version 2)

This fun, lilting, up-beat song is great for:

  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'ti'.
  • Singing in 6/8 metre.
  • Singing an interval of an octave.
  • Working with decrescendo - add a decrescendo at the end as keep singing 'the monk' until fade into silence!
