Triangle

by Teresa Jennings

This easy little tune is perfect for young singers to learn about the triangle. And of course, it has a double meaning in that it is an instrument they can play, and it's a geometric shape with three sides. Both simple concepts are integrated into this song through lyrics and performance on the instrument. Our triangle part is quite basic, but as always, you may adapt as needed. If you actually want your students to see the triangle part, we have extracted it (along with the short lyrics) and put it online. (See details on page 67.)
