DESCRIPTION

Children's songs are universal. They are part of our cultural heritage. As you might know, there are a melodies that are sung in different languages. Sometimes with the same meaning, but sometimes they have total different lyrics and meaning. They illustrate how we are globally connected to each other. In a time where copyright dominates the music industry, we think it is important that the knowledge about songs like these is accessible. Not only the lyrics and their meaning, but also what they sound like. The wikis are a great place to collect this knowledge, just like the way these songs are taught to children around the world. This presentation was used for a music scoring workshop. This workshop was an assignment for the Training for Trainers program at Wikimedia UK in August 2014.
