How is this song supposed to be performed? As a round? Or with the parts layering on top of each other? Or however I decide? Haha thanks for any help you can give!
See the video I just posted for an idea on how to perform it. There are lots of fun options! 🙂
I created an Orff play-along video so this can be done in upper grades as a layered melodic piece.
