Fairytale Music Stings

"What exactly is a music 'sting" you may well be asking?

Well, it's a piece of musical audio that can be used within stories, jokes, poems, podcasts, radio...lots of places...to mark the start and end of parts or to add drama and emotion.

We’ve provided some stings here for you to download (click the three button menu and select download) and to use in anything you create. All of them are really well suited to fairytale pieces, but could be used within many different types of creations.

Maybe try writing your own fantastic adventure or read a poem or story you love and use these short musical pieces as intros or outros or even to add drama during your reading.
