Staff Picks - Music Recommendation
|
Samantha recommends
Disney Magical Musical Passport
which can be found on Hoopla HERE
I recommend this album for anyone who enjoys a variety of classic songs from favorite Disney movies. Download and listen to this album for a good way to have fun with your family while remembering some of your favorite movies and music. The whole family can sing along to their favorite tunes; dancing is a bonus!
My top 3 songs from this album would have to be Remember Me, Hakuna Matata, and Under the Sea.
