Incompetech offers royalty-free music to users. Music can be downloaded in either MP3 or WAV format and be used for anything as long as the composer is credited somewhere.
Students can use this music as a soundtrack or background music or be asked to listen to particular music when developing n understanding of how music can support a theme or a feeling you wish to portray.
The site is easy to use and I particularly like how you can search for music by the feel , mood or style you are after. I can see this option being particularly useful to students. It can be difficult searching for music when you don't know the Bands so to be able to look for 'suspenseful' music for egs. is a real bonus. I downloaded a song called Spider Eyes which was an instrumental song ideal for exploring mood and tempo and would work well as background to a documentary or presentation where you want to create a sense of urgency in your viewers.

Hi Sharon
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think that you were unable to hear the music before you downloaded it? I found this annoying as I would rather know that is the music I want than just downloading the wrong one.
Till next time

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeletethe section I went to did give me an option to listen to a short version I thought? I think I better go back and check again lol.
Thanks for pointing this out,
