Songs about Spring for Every Genre
As I write this there are huge snowbanks outside and I've just come in from a wintery walk, carefully navigating the ice. It's -16 today and nowhere does it look like spring. However, after a cold, harsh winter in a few weeks, we all will be excited for a bit of spring and it's fun to be hopeful and work on a repertoire that will be ready 6 weeks from now, in the spring.
In every genre, there are songs about spring. Whether you are a classical singer, jazz enthusiast, musical theatre singer, an indie, country, or pop performer, you can find hopeful songs about spring.
Below, please find my suggestions for repertoire about spring for every genre with a link for easy listening.
