Song Info
The tradition of singing in canon dates back to medieval Europe, with one of the oldest surviving examples being the English round Sumer Is Icumen In from the 13th century.
A canon is a musical form in which a melody is introduced and then imitated after a delay, often overlapping to create rich textures from a single line of music. This approach remains a cornerstone of music education because it helps young singers develop listening skills, pitch accuracy, and ensemble awareness.
In children’s music education today, playful rounds like Mango Kiwi Banana are used to combine humor and learning. The nonsensical but catchy fruit names allow kids to focus on timing and harmony without being distracted by complex texts.
Educators often use it as a stepping stone before moving on to more traditional canons and rounds, showing how something as simple as fruit names can introduce core musical concepts in a fun and memorable way.
