Q: How to Delete Songs from Ipad mini but not my itunes account

I recently purchased an Ipad for my six year old autistic son. I didnt realize that by registering it with my Apple ID account, that ALL my itunes music would copy over. There are some songs I feel are inappropriate for him to hear, how do I delete only some of the songs from this Ipad without deleting them from my itunes account?

iPad, iOS 7.0.3

    I Actually was looking for the same information, and I ran across the answer after submitting my question to Google Search, and was taken to an article on using the Music App in Apple Support. It said: TO DELETE A SONG FROM THE MUSIC APP ON YOUR IPAD:  Swipe your finger to the left over the song you want to delete, and the "Delete" Option for that song will appear. Then simply select that "Delete" Option.

     

    Sounds simple enough. I haven't tried it yet, since I haven't gone back to my Music App yet, but I'm just about to do that. Here's hoping we both have success with deleting the songs we don't want on our device! Good Luck To You!

    ***I should have added that it said iCloud will have a record of that song in your account, so the song can still be accessed from there.  It will not be deleted from your iTunes Account, since iCloud stores your Purchase History.
