Many musical baby toys have only these notes!

What memorable tunes can you play?

Some starters:

'Jingle Bells'
'Ode to Joy'
Ultravox 'Vienna' ...

Any more ideas?

Sheesh -- what a way to bring up a kid who's a few notes short of a scale! If the toys went all the way up to A, you could do "Pop Goes the Weasel." Oh well.

>>'Jingle Bells'

Nope. You can only do the chorus of "Jingle Bells." To add the verses, you need all the naturals from G to G.

I wonder why these toys don't have a full scale?

Lightly Row, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Go Tell Aunt Rhodie (if you aren't fussy about the octave of the pickup between verses).

If they would add only A there are a lot more songs that can be managed within a sixth. Any beginner book uses most of them.

Good one, Nogu! :-)

But, oddly enough, the joke can become a genuine suggestion for a child old enough to talk and understand speech -- and understand that the silences are important in music.
