Sing short phrases to me from familiar songs
Remember that the ‘hook’ of a song is the first thing I’m likely to get hold of:
- Pick out the most characteristic phrase from a song, and sing it repeatedly – see if I start to anticipate what is coming next …
- ‘I’m still standing’ from the song of the same name by Elton John
- ‘Every little thing gonna be alright’ from Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
- ‘I am the one’ from Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
- ‘Isn’t she lovely’ from the song of the same name by Stevie Wonder
- ‘Just the way you are’ by the song of the same name by Billy Joel
