I highly recommend having some soothing music playing in the background while you’re drawing. It’s a wonderful Zen addition to your Zentangle® time.
Here are some recommendations from our collection of laid back tunes. They’re great any time!
Check back on a regular basis, we’re adding new tunes all the time.
How about recommending some of your favorites? If they enhance the experience of Zentangle®, please share with us all in the comments!






I was wondering is there any Zentanglers in Missouri or Kansas area whom teach class? I just found this art and I am in love with it! Thanks Joyce
Hi Joyce, visit this page http://www.zentangle.com/teachers.php for the list of Certified Zentangle Teachers – I see one listed for Missouri. But a new class just finished and it takes them a while to update their list, so check back there in a week or two.
Welcome, and in the meantime, enjoy practicing with the patterns here!
For wonderful tangling music you absolutely can’t go wrong with anything Kevin Kern does. Check him out I highly recommend him!!
Thanks for the recommendation, Terry. You’re right, and another piano artist. Yay! I’ve added his “Best of” to the tunes above.
Though i’m not adding any songs, I must say that i like to listen to certain types of songs to inspire my zentangles. I give certain themes to my tangles so if i’m doing something more gloomy, i listen to a more somber song; likewise for a tangle that is more vibrant, i’ll listen to a more joyous song thats uplifting. just some help if someone doesn’t know quite what to listen to!
I use pandora and the zen garden music for my background. It’s very nice and soothing.
I just put this on my Pandora. Lovely!
I have found liquid mind music to be very good music to listen to while tangling. The music can be found at http://www.liquidmindmusic.com.
I’ve only just discovered zentangling, although I’ve always doodled and I find that some of Medwyn Goodall’s music really works for me – particularly his Medicine Woman cd.
I love tangling to music called Dubsteb; it makes me get lost in my art.
