My aim is to provide you with everything you need to fulfil Topic requirements and those of the National Curriculum (without having to prepare anything.) I provide Power Points/videos and give you mp3s and lyrics. Notation is sometimes given. The instrumental parts are dead easy!

A song about the seasons . Each verse a different season. The video has words and prompts for percussion instruments. If you haven't got a bird warbler, children love a small keyboard (some have pre-programmed chirps) or, you could use a cuckoo sound (G and a lower E.) It’s a useful song for all seasons of the year.
