Teach “My Hat”

The melody of this song may have come from a Neapolitan song. The words were first published in 1886 in German. Paganini, Chopin, Johann Strauss and others quoted the melody in compositions. Today is a favorite action song in many
languages.

This action song is fun to sing and provides further reinforcement of the 3/4 time signature as well as the dotted half note rhythm.
