Music+Resources

Music is tricky. Fair use guidelines suggest that we can use up to 30 seconds of copyrighted music for educational purposes. So, if you want to use a Top 40 song in your project, you're limited to just a snippet of the song. However, if you're really looking to make an impact or statement, the music that subtly sets mood and tone is what truly makes your project unique and helps convey the meaning of what you're teaching your audience. So take a look at what you might find here. Remember to read the licenses and be clear about how you may use your music selection. Have fun!
