If you are like us, there is constant white noise through the day.  Our favorite is music of any kind just lulling in the background. It makes the most menial chore or activity more fun.  There is so much to be said about music and sounds starting from birth, and the troves of musicians and commercialization of the industry in the world are a testament to just that. Herewith, have a gander at our favorite Top Picks for the Musical Camper!  Break out your earplugs and we are sorry in advance!

8Notes

Think of all those trees you can save by purchasing sheet music for the songs (not books) that your kids want in addition to the compulsory tracks needed to learn their chosen instrument.  8Notes.com has thousands of songs to choose from by style and country for most of the common instruments including voice. The classics are sorted by composer as well. We particularly like the resource page, it’s chock full of obvious extras like blank sheet music, chord charts and a metronome, among others, that you may not have laying around. Get started with some mini lessons on Happy Camper Live’s Keyboard Camp

FREE but there is an annual subscription model with additional perks for a whopping $20.

MSRP – $20
