Teaching Ideas

This is one of the easiest pieces for the recorder or the glockenspiel, using only three notes: B, A and G.

Additionally you can teach at children how to accompany the melody at the glockenspiel, xylophone or piano, playing just the consonances G-D and D-A (or C-G and G-D, if the melody is in C major), depending on the chords.
