Write a SCARY song for Halloween. The musical alphabet is A, B, C, D, E, F, G. So put those letters in any order on a piece of paper. Then decide if they should each be a fast, slow, or an in-between duration. The fast note would be the quarter note, the slow note would be the whole note, and the in-between note would be the half note. Then send your song to me. I'll put a few of the songs up on my blog during the month of October.

Here is a not so scary Halloween song to listen to. (click here to listen) This song is played on a pipe organ.
