Need music for instructional educational video?

Learning shouldn’t be boring! Adding a music soundtrack to an instructional or educational video can help to keep your audience focused, motivated, and entertained.

Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket music composers. I went though our growing catalog of royalty free music and picked my top 10 favorite tracks that will work great in any educational or instructional video. Watch the video below or jump straight to the track list.

Educational videos come in many styles.

Lectures offer broad topic intros, while screencasts show you how to use software. Micro-learning videos are short and focused, perfect for quick lessons.

Explainer videos use visuals to break down complex concepts. Tutorial videos teach you how to do something specific

Each video type may call for slightly different background music but I usually recommend our clients to follow these simple guidelines.

Here are my 3 simple tips to help you pick the best background music for your educational video:

1. Choose music without strong lead melody. This is especially important for informative videos and tutorials with spoken word narration.

2. Avoid using overly happy, emotional, or dramatic music.

3. Use music that subtly sets the mood without drawing too much attention to the soundtrack.
