Video production is a favourite pursuit for students in developing project-based learning solutions to real-world challenges. But where can students get Creative Commons music to flash up their videos and give them great sound? McCoy Productions has the answer!

Ever since 1999, Jason McCoy of McCoy Productions has been providing voice over and radio imaging production services, and has created an online resource you're sure to find useful for adding to student video production.

Here are 31 sites for free Creative Commons music, available for you to check out on Jason's blog.

As part of practicing global digital citizenship, ethically sourcing data and add-ons for original projects is key. The folks at Creative Commons offer great resources for open source material, but often it's so hard to find. "There’s a lot of unorganized info out there," Jason says, "so hopefully this resource saves some search time for others."

In this post, Jason offers great advice on types of licensing, and how to actually begin your search. Check out all these great sites for the best Creative Commons music out there. Let students explore them to find the best bytes for their videos—click the image below to get rocking!
