Project Description

Song Child is an open license children's music project:

• average people singing the songs they love, with music and lyrics
• downloadable formats
• multicultural and multilingual
• free to use, contribute to, and share

The concept is to develop and maintain an on-line community of users, who will work together to write and share kids songs. The mandate of the site is to foster an Open License Music Project, in which users will work together to build upon and create public domain material. This musical repertoire of public domain kid's songs will be available to share and with children everywhere.
