I’m teaching a small group vocal class & I’ve picked some music already but I’m looking for additional recommendations. What are 8-10 year olds listening to these days?? So far, it seems I need to watch KPop Demon Hunters & brush up on my early Taylor Swift.18 Sep 2025 19:36 +0000at://did:plc:k2gbis72plguzertmnskrpbw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lz53w2mg3c25https://bsky.app/profile/velckology.bsky.social/post/3lwfaiwn4ps23If you need anything from me anytime soon, don’t.
