Incompetech provides a large library of royalty free music and animations. These downloads are available under creative commons licensing and details should be checked for each item.
Students and teachers will be able to use these files to enhance audio-visual presentations within PowerPoint, Flash animations and architectural design software to add ambience to 3D walk through modelling in virtual worlds.
Music will be applied by students to their projects to invoke sensory emotions; establish an environment or mood; and, should correlate with the general theme of their project. Music may also be utilised to aid quiet times when reflections are required to be made by students.
Music may also be used consistently to assist students to adjust their mindset, direct and maintain their focus. Music may also be used to draw attention, change topics, and introduce a topic or closure out a lesson.

This is also a great tool to use when using the digital storytelling applications. The students would be able to use different music to envoke emotion throughout their stories.
I found this would be useful to use to download and/or use music in a childcare setting or younger grades you would be able to download this and use it to show the children the sounds of the different instruments and have peaceful music playing in the background when having quiet time.
Hello Lauren,
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving comments. I think your idea to use this tool to download a variety of instruments sounds is fantastic. I am sure they would love that.
I have a visual of your idea setup on an interactive whiteboard. There are different pictures of instruments and the same quantity of music icons spread over the screen. The students use their hands to press and play a sound; next, they are required to drag and drop the instruments to match the sounds. As they do, they receive verbal feedback as follows; "that's right, good job" or "Not this one, try again".
Thanks again,
Peter Spencer
