Have you ever noticed your attention starting to wander a bit when you are watching a lengthy webinar or other research video, or even studying family history articles? A bit of background music may be just what you need. Playing your favorite tunes might work, but because they are your favorites, your attention might actually wander towards the music.

Here’s an approach that might work for you: the new Background Music page in The Family History Guide. It consists of 20 music tracks and six tracks of nature sounds. Each track is designed for easy listening with fun and interesting styles, but no highs and lows to draw your attention away from what you are watching or studying. You can adjust the volume on each track to get it just right for you, and the tracks automatically repeat so you don’t have to restart them. You can even play nature sounds with music tracks to get some interesting combinations.

To open the page, look for “Music” in the Intro menu of The Family History Guide, or click the Music link in the header area of pages in the website.

The screenshots below show you what the Background Music page looks like. Remember that controls in the pictures below aren’t functional; you’ll need to go to the actual web page to play the tracks. We hope you enjoy the new Background Music page!
