Is this not lovely:
I do not generally post about music but this is lovely and I know the artist. Empty Room by Michael Timmons. Sound fills your head and a west of Scotland voice.
lofi.cafe – lofi music 🎧, last session I played a bit of this type of music, from YouTube in class. Went down quite well. Think this may be useful. Via @joejenett‘s pointers
Boum
Pretty amazing project, I’ve only dipped my toe in. almost 30 year’s ago I watched Toto the Hero at the movies. It had a great theme song. Over the years I forgot the film’s name about 10 years decided to find the song. Much googling (I was looking for boom) and I eventually found it on Youtube. Today I found it again but sung in English.
I am sure there are a lot more educational used for this amazing collection of digital music.

Kevin, I am delighted that my wee toy could be part of making something this lovely. Thanks for the mention!

This could be a useful alternative to making your own tunes or using Kevin Macleod for creative projects, video and audio in the classroom.
The site generates music based on a few choices, genre, feeling and length. The site says:
Every track is unique, so there’s no danger of your music popping up somewhere else.
Here is one I got by choosing Folk -> Uplifting -> 1:30 minute long.
And used the Make it Christmassy button.

GarageBand Plans
Today I started a bit of work with garageBand and a few primary sevens.
In the summer I visited Lori Ramsay to find out about The Mothership. Lori gave me a great intro to using GarageBand to create tunes and I left with a set of her notes.
I’ve added some screenshots to these to use with the children, using Pages. It was the first time I’d used Pages and it seems a pretty simple app to create pretty and simple documents.
This is the first version of the worksheets, and I’ve not used them with kids yet, but I’ve uploaded them if you want a look. Feedback and suggestions are more than welcome.
Update: After Mark‘s comment I realised that there is an easier way to lay the loops out in a long strip, here is a sheet.
