One of the series of classic songtales adapted by John Feierabend for his First Steps In Music curriculum. The songs are truly brought to life by the vibrant illustrations of Jamie-Lynn Morrow.
This picture book is one in a series based on beloved children’s folksongs, part of John’s lifelong goal to identify and preserve the best music of our heritage for future generations.
This delightful traditional folk song tells the story of a Rooster and all his friends on the farm who love to sing.
Had a Little Rooster is a cumulative song that has been shared and sung for more than 100 years, with each verse introducing a new character and a new sound that must be added to the previous verse, making each verse longer and longer. Cumulative songs are fun to sing, as they require singers to use more and more breath, and challenge them to remember an ever-increasing cast of characters and sounds.
Includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song (see below).
