2014 Song-a-Day Challenge
The song-a-day challenge is designed to address a need for an inspiring and accessible body of repertoire for community singing worldwide.
Every song in this project can be learned by oral tradition (no written words or music) in 10 minutes or less. They come from a wide variety of sources and cultural traditions, old and new.
You are invited to join this daily personal practice, learning one song every day.
5-10 well-spent minutes every day of your life can have great impact. When we sing together, even through technology, it has the power to heal, inspire and connect us all.
Have a song to share? Submit it here. Want to contribute to the project? Donate here.
