Find an openly licensed music track

As you know, most music will be copyrighted as "all rights reserved", so you cannot copy an audio track of your favorite artist for inclusion in a teaching resource. Therefore you need to find music with an open copyright license. There are a number of websites that host music with Creative Commons licenses you can download and remix when generating a teaching resource. Below, we provide a few options.

• The Free Music Archive (FMA) - Check that you are searching the Creative Commons collection of music on the FMA website. If you don't see a Creative Commons search filter, you are on the wrong section of the site.
