KS1/2 Music for Pupils - Three Songs
In a programme devised by primary music expert Helen Macgregor, presenter Renee Montemayor introduces simple vocal warm ups and teaches three easy to learn classroom songs step by step, with the help of two young musicians on xylophones and a primary school choir.
Two vocal tongue twisters are used for a warm-up exercise and then we learn three songs:
- Kye Kye Kule - a West African action song
- The Frog Song - a simple Japanese song rehearsing pitch
- John Kanaka - a sea shanty with call and refrain
Each song has a different feature and may be more appropriate to different age groups, they can be used as repertoire for developing Ongoing Skills (Units 1, 8 and 15) or within specific units, e.g. Kaeruno uta ga - Unit 5 Taking Off: Exploring pitch.

Kaeru no uta2 February 2007 - 13:10Hello. I am a teacher of Japanese, and I really enjoyed watching this video clip. (KS1/2 music, three songs) It is fantastic to see the teaching ideas using songs including a Japanese one. Well, I have just noticed somehow the words needs a bit of amendment. 'Kaeru no uta' is the title, without 'ga', and the line is 'kaeru no uta ga kikoete kuru yo'. 'kaeru' means 'frog', 'no' is a particle, and 'uta' means 'song'.
So if anyone would like to use this song, the line should be --
'ka e ru no u ta ga', not 'ka er uno'. I hope this helps.
Thank you.
