"Little Bunny Foo Foo" is a well-known traditional American camp song about a mischievous rabbit and a very frustrated Good Fairy, told with escalating comic drama. On a steel tongue drum the lilting, circular melody makes the bunny's hopping adventures feel almost visible, each phrase bouncing along with natural energy. The comfortable range, clear beat, and fun narrative make this a great gateway song for children playing their first handpan melodies at camp or at home.
How to play Little Bunny Foo Foo on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major Pentatonic scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a beginner arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Little Bunny Foo Foo.
