Oh When The Saints

This song is often played by jazz bands - a great song to learn as an introduction to studying jazz!

This song is great for:

• Having students improvise 'jazz fills' on long notes.
• Preparing and practising the melodic element 'fa'.
• Practising longer rhythms, minim, dotted minim and semibreve. (Half note, dotted half note and whole notes.)
• Teaching the rhythmic element too-oo-oo (dotted minim/ dotted half note).
• With a range of a Perfect 5th, the limited range makes this a useful song for singing with less confident singers.
