Which service do you use?

by Matthew Trudeau Photography

Here are a couple of stations that we have come across over the years that teachers use in their classrooms.

Pandora

Thanks to Becky Donze for suggesting The Vitamin String Quartet. This station plays all the hits you love with one tiny twist, all the songs are instrumental. I promise it won't disappoint.
Mike Kuhn suggested George Winston. All mellow piano music. Excellent background music while working.

Songza

Doug Barton recommended the Focus-Enhancing Soundscapes. It is crazy how this really helps you disappear into your work.

Spotify

Check out the genres & moods section.

Has anyone found similar school-friendly playlists on Apple Music?
