Children's version: Ant and Grasshopper[edit | edit source]

I picked this old folksong because Cocomelon has a copyrighted variation called "The Ant and the Grasshoper". The lyrics can be found online at: babyrhymes.com, medium.com, or lyricshost.com,Mylyrics4free.com

Warmup[edit | edit source]

Most of us need to work on our voice and intonation.
