I’m always looking for new music to play while my students are independently working. I find that if music is quietly played in the background, it creates a calm and ambient ‘working’ atmosphere.
Below are 10 albums that I think are great:
1) Keith Kenniff – Branches
2) Zero 7 – Simple Things
3) Air – Moon Safari (Remove ‘Sexy Boy’)
4) Agnes Obel – Philharmonics
5) The Theory of Everything Soundtrack – Johann Johannsson
6) Eluvium – Copia
7) Kaki King – Glow
8) Federico Albanese – The Houseboat And The Moon
9) Einaudi Ludovico – Divenire
10)Alberto Giurioli- Ali
If you have Spotify, here is a link to my classroom music playlist which you can follow:

I play music by Andreas Vollenweider and also various artists from the Windham Hill label. I am particularly fond of acoustic guitar.

I generally use Fleet Foxes, Fionn Regan and Josh Rouse. I’ve used quite a few of these before and love Agnes Obel and Zero 7. Will definitely check out the others, brilliant post. Thanks for the tips!
