 * These links are intended to provide music and other audio that can be freely used for educational purposes.**

Note 1: //However//, even though we are trying to post links to music and sounds that are OK for teachers and students under "fair use", //you// as the end user must take it upon yourself to be sure of the licensing parameters for a file before you download and use it. Many of the sites below allow the contributing artists to specify their own unique terms of use (or licensing), so it's recommended that you double-check the licensing on each site and with each artist. [|Click here to learn the rules about "Fair Use Guidelines for Multimedia" (from NCDPI)] Note 2: Since we cannot control what is on third party sites, there is a possibility that some songs might contain lyrics that might be inappropriate for educational use. Please use these sites responsibly. //No explicit lyrics// are to be played or used in class whatsoever.
