Music is an important part of every country and culture on the planet. I wanted to put together a playlist of songs for my kids that would expose them to the many different styles and genres of music our world offers! It's on Spotify, and below I have listed each song, artist and country. If you have a song you would like added to the list, please contact me. Feel free to share this playlist with your kids or your students! Click the image below to listen!
