Las Gaviotas (The Seagulls)—Eduardo Cota.
This happy and rhythmic song paints a picture
seen in a child's imagination as they look at a
sea bird. The piano acts as a harmonic soloist,
participating in the plot while providing vocal
support. The Spanish text is easily learned.
The melody is presented in unison the first
time and then with a simple harmony. Short
and sweet!

warriors" like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson
Mandela, Mother Teresa, and Gandhi - all of
whom started their movements out of love for
their people, not out of hatred of someone else.
