Obtaining free music

Sometimes words and pictures just don't cut it on their own. Music is hard to beat when it comes to setting an atmosphere at an event, or even for a Powerpoint presentation.

Searching on the web you may find sites which offer royalty free music, always be careful to check the small print to confirm that you may use the music for your particular use - often you will need to at least credit the artist.

Remember- keep it legal! The Performing Rights Society has lots of useful advice on using other people's music legally.
