Music samples
Students please note: these samples are saved in either wave or mp3 formats. If you have the most recent windows program, the samples should play automatically when you click on them. If the samples do not play, you may need to download a free "plug-in" or free software from the internet. A "plug-in" will enable you to play the file from the web page, the software may require that you download the file, then open it in order to play it. You can find free software and plug-ins for a PC at http://www.winamp.com. For Macs, http://www.soundjam.com will be the place to go.
Since this music is provided for you for educational purposes only, you are not permitted to make or keep copies of this music. Once you have finished listening to the file, you must delete it from your hard drive. These wave and mp3 files have been altered from their original version. You have two other options for accessing these pieces: you can sign out a reserve cd from the library, or you can purchase the music. A discography for the class is included in the syllabus. If you have any questions about where to purchase the music, please call Linda Kaastra at ext. 4017. Thank you.
