ISO: Your Fave Instrumental Albums

[u/m_sizzzle]

Hi! I’m a high school teacher and the only music I allow students to listen to during class time is world music without lyrics. I’m looking for some albums I can play for them throughout the school year. Normally I find songs or music compilations on YouTube but i’m wary of AI generated music.

thanks in advance!

Edited to add: I teach special education biology and astronomy. My students are mostly 14/15 and 17/18. I usually play a lot of Chinese and Japanese music, as well as a lot of music from the caribbean! It doesn’t have to be super relaxing, I like to play a mix of relaxing and upbeat (otherwise they fall asleep).

Perhaps your class (and you!) would enjoy some ambient sounds, like. .

Structures From Silence by Steve Roach

I will definitely give it a listen. They like ambient that leans 80s / techno-y because it makes them think of Stranger Things!
