# Music students add “original beats” to innovative collaboration

Students across Ontario looking for soothing background music to help them study or unwind now have a free award-winning resource, thanks to Seneca students.

Under the leadership of John Switzer, Professor, [Independent Music Production](https://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/IMP.html), Seneca students contributed to a collaborative project that won a global [Open Education \(OE\) Awards for Excellence](https://awards.oeglobal.org/about-awards/).

The project, called Liberated Learners, was led by Trent University, and brought together postsecondary institutions from across the province, including Brock University, Cambrian College, McMaster University, Nipissing University, Seneca and the University of Windsor.
