Singing songs in English is a great way to play and improve your ability to put words together in a sentence.
Here's a collection of traditional songs for all ages.  Some are used to teach English speaking children to
pronounce the consonants and vowels correctly...some are classics known to most people.  You can use the
musical notes at the bottom to repeat a section of the song.  You will need Flash 6 to hear the songs.
If you right click in the Flash box you can print the lyrics.
<br><br>
Teachers of English might want to assign different verses to different groups in a class, while the chorus
would be sung by all.  Younger children may just call out missing words in a song as you sing it.  Singing
encourages blending between words.  To transfer that to normal speaking, have the students say the
words after they have learned to sing them.  Quicken the pace to keep the voice active between words.
