Twelve Days of Christmas - F Major

  • "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a humorous song for Christmas.
  • With repeated use of the melodic element "fi" (sharpened "fa") in a recurring melodic sequence ("la - fi - so") this song is useful for preparing and practising "fi".
  • To test breath control you can challenge your students to try to sing the twelfth day through to the first day in 1 breath!!! This can be quite hilarious!
