Free Music at Freeplay Music: Search Production Music Library.
If you want to use music from iTunes, you must convert them with software such as Audacity. It is free to download and super easy. Export the file as a .wav in order to use it on your iMovie. In order to abide by copyright laws, please do not use more than a thirty second clip. I don't want the copywright police knocking on my door! Your music should be school appropriate.
