The Bell Doth Toll

This simple 3 part canon is great for:

  • Singing in 3 parts!
  • Preparing and practising the rhythmic element 'tum ti' (dotted crotchet, quaver / dotted quarter note, eighth note).
  • Practising the melodic element 'fa' (if 'ti' is known').
  • Teaching the melodic element 'low ti' (if 'fa' is known).
