But I don't know those tunes

One of the reasons so many old traditional songs are used is because so many people do know them.

So you are using the KSSR syllabus and text book, and there is a lovely little rhyme with instructions to use a particular tune, and ... you don't know that one.

You have several choices:
1. Make up your own tune (see the Create Your Own Songs page), or see if it fits another tune that you know.
OR
2. If you are at IPGKDRI, come and see the fellows - or one of the lecturers.
OR
3. Go to the links page. Almost everything is available on the Internet either as a sound file or on YouTube with someone performing the song. Look on the Places to find songs and music where you will find a list of excellent websites.
OR
4. Try to find the song on this website, and hope that I have added a sound file. (Keep checking because I am adding more all the time). If you still can't find it, try filling in the contact form on the Create Your Own Songs page, and ask for it. :)
