Did you know that thanks to the NMC BBQ, NMC has a licensed music library that is available for employee and student use?

The online music library is available 24/7. Acceptable uses include adding music to class activities such as presentations, videos, or other media projects–even if a class project is for an external client. Just remember that the project or activity has to relate to an NMC project or activity. Song selections are available in a variety of lengths, and styles.

Here’s how to find it:

• Go to NMC homepage www.nmc.edu.
• Click on Library.
• Under Quick Links click on A-Z List of Resources.
• Find Music Library and click on it.

Once you are in the database, select a category of music, such as Americana, by clicking on it. Use Next and Prev to navigate through approximately 100 different categories, or use the search feature. Song information includes time, tempo, and lead instruments.

Once your category is selected a list of music file choices will show under the category.
