Reading Familiar Folk Songs
It is suggested that the first pieces students read and write are familiar pieces they have already played. This corresponds to how we learn a language - often the first words we read and write are those in which we are familiar.
The following are foksongs/pieces that students will have sung and played earlier in their lessons.
