Deck the Halls - F Major

  • "Deck the Halls" is a joyous, traditional Christmas Carol.
  • With the rhythm "tum ti" (dotted crotchet, quaver) occurring regularly, this is a fantastic song for preparing, making conscious and practising this rhythm.
  • There is one very clear example of the melodic element "fi" (sharp "fa") making this a useful song to teach this element.
  • With a melody mainly based on steps, this song works well with modal transformation.
