This past summer I traveled to Haiti. I would take one of the songs I learned there and work with a young middle school/upper elememtary school choir. It has two parts, and is very cyclical. If anyone is interested in the piece, I have a book of Haitian songs and would love show you the melodies.
The range is not too difficult, and is meant for all voice types to sing. With students that are still learning to sing, sometimes these songs can be taught by rote. That is how I taught it in Haiti.
It would be an interesting approach to teaching. Sometimes it can be fun to teach a piece by rote.
