The Charm of Encanto

Want your students to play Latin-flavored music?

Not from the Disney movie, this original song inspired by the Spanish word, encanto, is accompanied by an Orff arrangement, Latin rhythm and melodic elements, and is a great extension to the movie that charmed the world.

  1. Hello,
    I cannot tell if there is a charge for the Encanto music. Also, is Disney supplying these songs?

    1. It isn’t a Disney song but one I wrote about the Spanish word encanto meaning charm or charming. The arrangement has a Latin style. You can hear the song arrangement on Oodles blog or TPT. This particular arrangement is for a fee on TPT.

      1. I call it a packet from Disney because Disney created it. However, for whatever reason, Disney isn’t supporting the page and currently the link is invalid. The last valid link was from May, 2024 and I’ve provided a link to you. If this link stops working, I have no other way to find it. Here’s a snapshot of the page from May, 2024. Also, I’ve removed the original (now invalid) link from the blog post.
