Use SONGS to promote clear pronunciation and appreciation for the rhythm and alliteration in English

This is a message to U.S. students.
Some of you want to write music and songs.  You can learn much by studying songs by Disney.  
Clear lyrics, clearly spoken.

It will also be a good exercise for YOU to record the songs.
FIND THE WORDS
PRACTICE THE RHYTHM
You don't need to sing, just get the steady rhythm.   For any song, any language, this is a good way to practice the vocabulary and reinforce words in actual practice.

(1) UP WITH PEOPLE

It is helpful to have songs and lyrics to read because children can expose themselves to READING and SOUND and practice the pronunciation.

I can recommend more songs....  the best are from Disney, I think, from 1960s and 1970s, which gave guidance to children's behavior.

(2) SPOONFUL of Sugar


(3) STAY AWAKE

(4) My day in the hills
Maria  SOUND OF MUSIC

(5) GOOD BYE   coo coo

(6) SONG number 6  Whistle While you work


Song number 7
Whistle while you work  part 2


RECOMMENDATION to students
If you want to promote older songs
If you want to write your own songs
Then study these songs.  Look at their simple structure and clever rhyming in the lyrics.
It will also be a good exercise for INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS OF ENGLISH to record the songs.
