Today with the rise in popularity of the internet all you need to find some great instrumental music online is a computer with an internet connection. By simply pointing your browser with search terms like instrumental music, you are smothered by a whole smorgasbord of websites offering not only paid, but free online instrumental music.

With a little detective work and patients you can find your own favorite websites that will play your favorite instrumentals. In this article I will share a few of my hot spots online where I go to get my free instrumental music online.

First on my list is AOL Radio. This is a place to go for music to relax and meditate by. And you dont have to be an AOL member to listen. Simply type AOL Radio in your browser and you are directed to their main Music site. From the main Stations by Category list located on the left side of the site, under Eclectic, youll find titles such as Ambient, Meditation, Nature Sounds and New Age. This site also offers a Classical section where you can find stations playing every type of classical instrumental music online that you can think of from Baroque to Renaissance. This is one of my favorite spots to go to listen to Classical instrumental music online. The music on AOL Radio is rarely interrupted with talking, save for the occasional two minutes for site identification purposes. To check out this site go to www.music.aol.com.

There are times when I need more than just jazz or new age instrumentals. Sometimes I need to get my spirits up when Ive had a really bad day at the office. Thats when I point my browser to the spiritual side of the net, more specifically, Cross Walk Radio online. This online streaming radio station is run by the Salem Web Network All-Pass System, which is where I had to go to register for crosswalk radio. This station has some of the best Christian instrumental music online and I am a frequent visitor.

To listen to free online instrumental Christmas music, go to www.live365.com which has instrumental online radio stations where you can find all Jazz Christmas instrumentals, or a collection of traditional and non-traditional Christmas instrumentals in the new age genre, including ambient and Celtic. This is one of my favorite places to go to listen to Christmas instrumental music online because they have a great variety of instrumental Christmas music online radio stations so I can flip through them whenever a song comes on I dont like. The music is free for the listening with no sign up; however, it does have many more interruptions for ads than does AOL Radio. Live 365 does offer an option to subscribe and enjoy ad-free music. Depending on how much music you listen to, it might well be worth the price of subscription.

The number one spot online for great instrumental jazz music is My Music Stream. I go here to listen to all the latest and greatest jazz instrumentals and also to listen to some old jazz classics. Theres nothing like jazz. Its like the rebel of all music with its spontaneity and feel driven rhythms.

Another genre of music that I love is the blues, but with no lyrics and lots of soul. The place that I found that has free streaming instrumental music online and gives me just the right mix is My Music Stream. I like them for Jazz as well, but I mainly go here to listen to the blues.

Bottom line, there are tons and tons of places that offer free instrumental music online, you just have to do your research and be patient. Whether your looking for soft ambient instrumentals or Christmas instrumental music you are sure to find it out in the world wide web. Until Next Time
