My Mom Made It Better

This short, bouncy tune is perfect for your celebration of Mother's Day (which falls in May) or any time you want to honor the moms in your circle. It has a whimsical accompaniment on the recording, which besides being charming, helps students with the triplet based rhythmic style. The tune is certainly easy enough for younger students to sing, but you may want a little help with the spoken solos if timing is a bit challenging yet for some of your performers. If you'd rather keep it all young, say all kindergartners, you can eliminate or adapt the spoken solos any way you need to.

As with all songs about moms, you can change the song to be used for dads, too. Just substitute "dad" for "mom" anywhere it occurs. And remember - Father's Day is in June.
