A música faz bem para a alma? A professora de inglês e fundadora da Companhia de Idiomas, Rose Souza, acredita que sim. Por isso, ela preparou uma lista de 10 músicas para acalmar a todos que estão em casa durante a pandemia do coronavírus.

E, claro, ela também deixa um desafio: você consegue completar as letras das músicas com a opção correta?
