ScriptEd Year 2 Curriculum project - Using the Souncloud API

• Search: Simply type in the mood you are currently in and a song will be generated based on that mood
• Hear: We grab all of our songs directly from Soundcloud, so there are millions of selections.
• Explore: Using Soundmood, you can find hundreds of songs based on unique mood
• Quantity & Quality: Soundmood has a selection of many different emotions/mood, so good luck entering one that doesn't exist.
