Old Molly Hare

This fun and catchy song is easy to learn but hard to stop the song from racing! A great song to practise keeping a STEADY beat with middle and upper primary school students!
The rhythmic element 'tika ti' can be prepared and practised with this song.
There are lots of descending 3rds in this song. Great for practising in-tune singing!
This song is also known as "Mr Rabbit".
