The Little Birch Tree: A creative resource for children, teachers and parents

This beautiful Russian song paints a picture of the birch forest as a girl dances a dreams of the music. What can the branch of a tree become? A flute? A balailaika? The wind blows the leaves into the pattern of the melody that is shown in the music notation.
Through hearing the song and seeing it in written form, children naturally develop their own music literacy skills.
