This week's tonguie twister
Tongue twisters are a fun way of helping improve our enunciation when singing (and speaking).  Start saying a tongue twister slowly, then gradually speed up until you can say it three times in a row without a mistake. Make sure you really move your lips and tongue to get the best pronunciation and enunciutaion. 

 "Selfish Shellfish" 



Would you know what instrument the musician was playing if you didn't see it beforehand?  What is it that makes the object sound like a guitar? 


Scat singing is just making up sounds and rhythms to fit a song. 
Have a go following the singers in this scat song - just follow their lead. 

A new song to have fun with: Virus by fleaBITE
Have fun with the scat singing lines  "Skippity Bop ... . Make up your scat singing sounds to fit the space. 



Virus
Virus, Virus, Virus

 I picked it up one day at the swimming pool
I’m talking virus
Now that I have caught it
I can give it to you
 Infectious virus

Skipitty bop ….x2

If you’ve got a chicken pock, a measle or mump
You’ve got a virus
Spreads all through your body
Till you’re covered in lumps
Infectious virus

Skipitty bop ….x2

I’m going viral
I’m going viral
I’m going viral
I’m going viral

A virus is a parasite
And we are the host
They live inside us
So tiny you can see them
With a microscope
Infectious virus

Skipitty bop ….x2

I’m going viral
I’m going viral
I’m going viral

I’m going viral
