Five Little Ducks Glockenspiel / Xylophone Sheet Music and Note Chart

The song of Five Little Ducks is rather easy both in notes and rhythm. It consists of 6 notes, as you can see on the chart following the notes of the song. Four of them are natural (A3 – D4 – E4 – A4 ) and two sharp notes (C# and F#) of D major scale.
