The Oak And The Ash

This beautiful English folk song is great for:

  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tim-ka' (dotted quaver, semi-quaver / dotted eighth note, sixteenth note).
  • Working with accidentals - the melodic elements 'si' (sharpened 'so') and 'ri' (sharpened 're').
  • Singing in minor tonality.
