30. Twinkle Twinkle Little Ghost (Learning the difference between major and minor)

Grab a scarf if you have one and we’ll learn about and practice hearing the difference between Major and Minor together.

Elizabeth and Forte introduce the concept of major and minor by singing a few different songs in their original key, and then switching the song from major to minor or minor to major to highlight the difference.

We also share clips from some familiar classical pieces and try to identify if the piece is in a major key or a minor key.
