RAP -- SONGS -- MUSIC -- SOUNDS
WHAT

Everyone likes to sing. The use of sound has a tremendous range of possibilities and much of it can be presented online - either as streaming media or downloads.
Songs: These can be written as and when about almost anything - ideally with some Buddhist connection. They could be written in relation to the 'theme of the month' - to be used as part of the Sunday school.
Mantra: These can be traditional or you can make them up yourselves - simple or complex.
Rap: It has a bit of a dark image as a result of many commercial offerings but it is a medium with much potential. Have a look at this one . So, what words can you put to a beat?
