Zudio

This version of this African-American street song is great for:

  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'ma' (flattened 'mi').
  • Working with syncopation.
  • Doing actions on the beat against syncopated rhythms.
  • In tune singing for 'do-mi-so'.
  • Singing an octave interval.
  • Analysing the use of jazz elements. E.g. syncopation, chromatic note (flattened 3rd).
