Dance of The Toy Flutes – Nutcracker Suite Piggyback Song

March 31, 2015 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

The Nutcracker Suite is such a wonderfully imaginative piece of music. It is an excellent teaching resource for all sorts of creative activities from poetry and painting to imaginative movement. Here I have chosen to look at the 7th movement, The Dance of the Toy Flutes. I thought it would be fun to write a  piggyback song which is called Would You Like To Be A Fairy? Children love dressing up as fairies and pixies and this song is just what they need to get them into character and explore the Nutcracker Suite at the same time!

Would You Like To Be A Fairy? (Dance of the Toy Flutes, Nutcracker Suite)

Would you like to be a fairy?

Fluttering your little wings,

You wave your wand,

Dancing in the moonlight,

Hiding in the flowers,

What a lovely time you’ll have,

On mi-d-summer’s night!

Would you like to be a pixie?

Fluttering your little wings,

You wave your wand,

Dancing in the moonlight,

Hiding in the flowers,

Dancing with your pixie friends,

On mi-d-summer’s night!

This youtube video shows the full orchestral arrangement, but all you need to do is sing our song to the main part of the famous theme.
