When we write during Writer's Workshop, I play soft instrumental music in the background. When the music is on, kids cannot get out of their seats. I was pretty tired of the classic classical music, so I went on a music hunt. I was so excited when I found these instrumental CDs at Borders. I have also found them on Amazon and eBay. I try to buy a new one (or two) every year, but the Bob Marley one is my favorite. Click HERE to go directly to the Rockabye Baby site.
I have U2, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Coldplay, and Pink Floyd. Def Leopard just came out, too!
i totally dig these too! I have bob marley, beatles, no doubt, green day, & johnny cash. i like them because they are soothing & not distracting, but not too classic-y!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I play these in my classroom too! I made a few mix CDs to use. What a great thing to share!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of these... but so catchy! I was afraid it would be with words when I heard those names.
