Background music has become an indispensable attribute of many shops, cafes, restaurants, beauty salons. This kind of music is also called functional, ambient, environment music. She sets the right pace, relaxes or, on the contrary, invigorates, disposes to rest or, on the contrary, to work. Indeed, it is increasingly being heard in offices. Background music can be different - you need to choose it based on the place where it will sound. But where to find it and how to choose the right one?
It is necessary
- - fast internet;
- - music discs;
- - music player.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide for which place you are choosing music. For a restaurant, beauty salon, reception in a hotel, a slow, calm lounge is suitable. The musical style "lounge" (light music) is a rather broad concept. It includes many different genres - from Latin rhythms to electronica. The common thing that unites this style is the absence of words, pleasant, not ragged rhythms, a very predictable melody, and a light sound.
Step 2
A little more dynamic music is needed for shops, fast food, and communication salons than for restaurants. Choose the "lounge cafe" style. You will find many collections of such compositions in music stores.
Step 3
Increasingly, background music can be heard in offices. According to some reports, the use of background music increases employee productivity by 70%. Of course, office music should not be too slow, as it can make people sleepy. However, it cannot be too dynamic - it will create a nervous stop. A style like "hotel lounge" would be most appropriate. It is very important to consider the opinions of employees. Most likely, such an innovation will appeal to your colleagues, but it may turn out that background music interferes with someone's concentration.
Step 4
So, background music is selected in each case separately. There are many more varieties of it: "beach house" (for a cocktail party on the seashore), "jazz & blues" for city pubs, "soulfulhouse" - again for shops and hotels. Still, the divisions by style are rather arbitrary. In music stores you can safely purchase discs with music in the style of "lounge", "easy listening", "chill out", "relax". All of this belongs to the general genre of background music and will serve as a good background music in different places and situations.
Step 5
Background music can also be found on the internet. It is very convenient to listen to radio online, especially since there are entire radio stations on which only background music sounds. Here are some handy resources where you can listen to background radio stations:
