Hey Diddle Diddle is a hit with my older students as they get to explore sliding into the melody line enjoying a bit of a jazzy version of this nursery rhyme. They love the accompaniments, the melody tracks and the stories that each of these songs tells. They songs are age appropriate and perfect for young students. They achieve success with this material. I can’t thank you enough for making singing fun!
