Constellation Complication

This funny tongue-twister is great for preparing and practising the rhythmic element 'tika-tika'.
With a range of 5 notes, this song can work well with boys who are not confident singers.
A great song for practising the melodic element 'fa'.
Try this song as a choir warm-up to get students really working their tongues and lips to sing the lyrics clearly!
