Hi! I need suggestions for background ♪♫ music
 
I �d like to try playing some music in the classroom. The music should accompany or stimulate classwork. The students that are interested in working with music are 14 year old.
 Looking forward to reading your answers,

Try Beethoven Symphonies. Or basically any only instrumental songs.
 
Playing songs with lyrics might disturb or distract the students. 
 
And whatever you do play reduce the volume to such an extent such that your voice is clearly audible to all of them.
I have made a few links as below which according to me are stimulating but not distracting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRQV30GV63o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjJUTitnvSI
 
You can choose anything else as well but each student (and even you) has different views and effects of these songs so don �t expect all of the students to like it.
If you choose one you like and some students will definitely like it as well.
 
Good Luck.
*I personally like the last one.

A while ago I found this site https://longzijun.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/free-background-music/ there are different styles, just try and see what is suitable for your students.
You can use it for projects as well.

I like Mozart.   I also like "Claire de Lune", Pachibel �s Canon, the overture from "La Traviata", etc.
