Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
I’m gonna sing when the Spirit says “sing.” (repeat twice)
And obey the Spirit of the Lord.

I love your ideas to help children learn music. I believe that kids who learn to better intuitively understand music can excel in many other subjects as well. I created an app for iPad that also furthers this effort, giving anyone a chance to make complex music structures without traditional musical technique.
