Instrumental Suggestions ...

Postby Deb » Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:41 pm

Hi everyone!!!

I am not a huge fan of instrumental music but finding songs with words appropriate for slideshows about children does pose a challenge so I am learning to love instrumentals!!! The problem is that I obvioulsy do not have a big collection of instrumental music and the stuff I do have is ......mmmmm .... 'relaxing'!!! It would probably work if I was doing a slideshow of landscapes or nature but it just does not work with fun pics with kids. I need something a bit more lively - Any suggestions???

Popcorn by Hot Butter is fast paced and a good choice for children shows

Partners in Rhyme have 3 free kids loops which are quite nice and upbeat.

Thanks Mel... I just listened to that suggestion and I remembered it straight away. Now I am itching to use it!

I agree - perfect for using with a slideshow, and not just necessarily one for the kids.

Not quite sure of the laws in your area but here we can download music legally. I suggest Limewire & search for Symphonic Rock, lots of yesterday & today titles in Orchestra Rhythm...Great stuff...
