Lesson 20

"If the pot has a hole in it"

I am wondering if some of you know a song with similar lyrics but a bit different melody called "A hole in a bucket" in English. 
Anyway, this version is originally from Germany and a kind of funny song as you could see the translation on the video which you had in the previous e-learning class on this site. 

You can download these 2 files at first, or just watch and sing along with the following videos. 

On the sheet music for singing with the movable Do system, you can see the notes colored by red are always "Do".

Practice in C major 

Now you practice the melody in C major with this movie at first. You can make sure all the notes on C major scale at the beginning, then you start singing the melody at So. You have 3 times of practicing, however, of course, you can repeat more if you need.

Let's sing whole song!

You have gotten ready to sing along the whole part. 
You will get 5 times of key changing (the 5th is the same as the beginning though!)
​Please listen carefully to the intro section, it is starting in a different key from what you practiced (F major). You will have a part in C major as the 4th key.
You don't have to think this so hard, it is just OK if you prefer to sing with la-la-la or du-du-du, it would be totally fine. Or humming is also good. I hope you just enjoy singing these changing keys on this song.
