Round and Round

  • "Round and Round" is a simple, short canon in Dorian mode.
  • Great song for teaching dorian mode (low la - la plus "fi")
  • A useful canon for practising the rhythms ta and ti-ti and teaching the rhythm too.
  • The melodic element "fi" can be practised in minor tonality with this song as "fi" is sung in the context of steps.
  • More advanced students can try singing the canon with modal transformation in 1, 2 or 3 parts!
