Sound of Music Soundtrack
Kristy Pepping said: My daughter is performing Sound of Music for her local theatre group so we rented the movie from our local library. I forgot how much I loved the soundtrack! So I ended up downloading the soundtrack for the kids and myself to listen to in the car.
If you are a fan of musicals, you may want to introduce your kids to these timeless songs! I guarantee everyone will be singing along!
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Katie G. said: While not considered essential by Beatles purists, this soundtrack from the movie of the same name has two classic singalongs ("Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need is Love"), plus the delightfully strange "Hey Bulldog." (That's John and Paul howling and barking at the end.)

Frank Sinatra - Classic Sinatra: His Great Performances 1953-1960
Nancy L. said: Classic Sinatra may not appeal to your kids just yet but this is timeless, classic music. Almost everyone will be familiar with a song from somewhere. This is good music to play when the grandparents are around because it could ignite some fun memories, conversations, and lots of singing.

Ravi Shankar - The Very Best of Ravi Shankar
Yoli B said: Listening to the sitar is mesmerizing and no one does it better than Ravi Shankar. Shankar played sitar growing up in India and even taught George Harrison of the Beatles the craft. Listening to sitar tends to put me in a mellow mood, so hopefully listening to the music will be a relaxing activity for kids, too!
