Music comes down from
the tall Alpine mountain, echoing through the valleys, and into the villages
that dot the valley floor. Vigorous and
melodic, the music continues for miles.
Yodeling is a form of
singing that exists in countries worldwide.
It started as a forming of ‘yelling’ for lack of a better word. The word ‘yodel’ came from a German Bavaria
word jodeln, with the jo given the yo sound.

It was a way of
communicating through long distances in the Alpine valleys, since the
high-low-high-low sound bounces around and off the rocks. Think of riding in a school bus, and you can
see how the yodel would travel through the valley.
The letter Y is for “yodeling”. Can you think what Z will bring?
