Hi there,

I am looking for suggestions for sourcing "uplifting" background music for projects.  Any ideas are warmly welcomed!

Thank you!

    Not the suggestion you want, but I never use background music, it is just distracting, certainly if you have VO (which are very important). Maybe some sound effects, but not background music. It rarely will help the learner to focus.

    Thank you Lilybiri - actually it is a helpful suggestion as I agree with you.  I find it distracting myself. 

    The person I work with is very specific that they want "uplifting" music and I am challenged in finding the music that is fitting this description.  A suggestion I was given if music was a must have in the project, was to use focus/study type music so it wasn't such a distraction - unfortunately that hasn't proved to be uplifting enough so got a thumbs down.  So my search continues..!

    Sorry not to be of help, although I'm a professional musician.. Some Zen-music will get them asleep I'm afraid. Lot depends on the audience of course and on the level of engagement in the course.
