Hey All! I’m Emily Schmitz and I’m so glad to joined me! Today’s music tip is on using songs to sing major scales. Try this practical, quick tip in your home with your kids today! Here are the lyrics to both songs I used today:

Falling Leaves

All the leaves are falling down

Orange and yellow, red and brown

Falling softly as they do

Over me and over you

All the leaves are falling down

Falling gently to the ground.

Creeping creeping Little Flea

Creeping creeping little flea

Up my leg and past my knee

To my tummy on he goes

Past my chin and past my nose.

Now he’s creeping down my chin

To my tummy once again,

Down my leg and past my knee

To my toe that little flea. Gotcha! *
