Genetic Engineering: Finding Music and sounds

What's the Big Deal?

If you choose not to create your own music or sounds, you should look for music that musicians WANT to share--freely, without their permission. When using music or sounds from the sites below, double-check to make sure that the owners of the music are willing to share them freely--some may have minor restrictions. Note: you still need to cite where you find music and sound effects!!

Citing Music or Sound

Last Name, First Name. "Name of Song." Website. Date Published. URL. Date Accessed. 

Example:
