    English children's songs

    Hello, I would like to find some English children's songs suitable for teaching. Don't you know any sites with scores or midi files? It wouldn't be a problem to catch the melody from midi by ear and write it down. Something like Twinkle Star, London Bridge or Old McDonald. I would like to know at least dozen children's pieces.

    Thanks

    I know of some more children's songs. To me they make more sence than
    some of the other songs out there. Ever tried the net to find some?
    There should be a website just for kids songs.

    Hi philcan,

    Found this site that has lots of childrens songs along with lyrics. It may require a Quicktime (free) plugin to hear the midi's, but the site looks rather complete and may fit the bill for what you are seeking.
