Is your student looking for a challenge? Or maybe some fun new songs to try over a break?  Try some of these songs!


Let it Go (from Frozen) - This song uses all 3 primary chords and the interval of a 3rd, a great practice for feeling harmonic rhythm (the pattern chords follow in a song).

The Wiseman and the Foolish Man - This song from the LDS Children's Songbook is a great opportunity to practice the Red to Yellow transition and a Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do ending.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - At the request of my daughter, Rudolph is available for extra practice with all three primary chords.

Ten Little Pilgrims - We have a sing-a-long book with this title (to the tune of 10 Little Indians), this song uses Red and Yellow chords with a variation of a Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do ending

Deck the Halls - This song allows for a faster Red/Yellow transition, uses all 3 primary chords, and can you find the 3rd hiding in there?  There is also a Mi-Re-Do ending.
