    Please do check your spelling, Sam! Skewl is correctly spelled, school.

    Your objective here as well as mine, is for you to learn how to write a song. You've already mentioned something about your spelling in another post. So, we might as well learn something else while we are doing the thing that this post is originally about. Wouldn't you agree?

    If the current Spell Check at the bottom of the posting rectangle where you post doesn't work, you can use the one at the top right of the posting rectangle that has the ABC above it. You will need to download it, though. It's perfectly safe. I downloaded it and use it all of the time.

    I make mistakes in my spelling all of the time. Checking the spelling really helps me! There are still some words that I have trouble spelling, even though I check spelling on a regular basis.

    If you're around Sam, would you please move your mouse to this site? You can play at least part of your song by using the Virtual Keyboard. It won't be hard. I will show you how to do it.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Just a simple advice... listen to what your heart says.. from there you can begin writing simple words. You have to be in the mood too before you could do it and of course inspired by someone.. happy thoughts could help you write good lyrics, it does not matter whether they rhyme or not. Again listen to your heart that is where true words come from.

    Hi, summerskye08!

    Those are good thoughts that you have! I also hope that you read through the posts from the beginning of this thread that has now gone on for nine pages. Sam's really quite good at coming up with the creative words and ideas to use concerning her thoughts!

    Thanks!

    Hello are you there can u teach me please

    Hello to you too, Sam!

    Yes, I'm here. Please give me a few minutes to put notes to the words so that you can play a little of your song. Please open another browser so that you have the keyboard also.

    Thanks!

    Here are the notes to the first line of your song that go along with the words. Where there is an underscore (_) beside a note, that's where you will hold the note a little longer.

    You might think of the rhythm as going something like this: 1234_and 1234_and1234_3212_

    E E E E_ C D D D D_ D E E E G_ F E D E_
    Why do you call and why do you stare, and why do you tell me to beware?

    Please let me know how it goes using the keyboard. Thanks!

    OK

    Okay, the notes aren't quite spaced correctly above the notes. I'm not sure that I can fix that, but will work on it. It looked okay when I was writing it.

    Here it is, fixed up a little bit better so that you can understand where the notes go above the words.

    E----E---E---E_-C---D---D---D--D_---D----E---E--E--G_--F--E--D-E_

    Hi, Sam!

    I wish that I'd have been able to be on here earlier when you were on! Hopefully, we will be on at the same time sometime soon!

    I hope that you are well!

    Thanks!

    Hi, Sam!

    I'm here right now. Just logged onto the site. I'm sorry your dad's not feeling well. Does he have the flu?

    Thanks!
