A Prayer Unto Me*
*"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song• of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads." (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12 link here)
We did this as a "mini" unit while my sons worked on their BSA music Merit Badge.
There is a section about rock music.
