If I create a program that allows kids to create and play songs what Intellectual properties should I consider

Trade Secret
copyright
trademark
patent
freedom of speech

these are the choices

Trade secret, copyright, trademark, and patent may all apply depending on your specific facts.

As an example, copyright may be applicable to the software. Trademark may apply to the branding of your program. Patents may apply if your program includes patentable features. Trade secrets may apply to any features you wish not to disclose to the public.

Technically speaking, freedom of speech is not an intellectual property right. Freedom of speech is a Constitutional right guaranteed under the First Amendment. In any case, freedom of speech is not applicable unless you're talking about the government suppressing your right to free speech. It's not clear from your limited fact pattern why you think that is the case.
