Twelve Days of Christmas (Toys)

  • "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a humorous song for Christmas.
  • This is a new version with "my true friend" giving twelve different types of toys!

  • With repeated use of the melodic element "fi" (sharpened "fa") in a recurring melodic sequence ("la - fi - so") this song is useful for preparing and practising "fi".
