Eight instrumental stations, one for every room
Original instrumental music, generated and mastered by eleMusic. Press play on any 30 second preview; nothing plays until you do. Each station names the rooms the player suggests for it, every device picks its own station, and every plan includes all eight.
eleMusic has eight instrumental music stations: Acoustic Guitar, Light Jazz, Ambient, Elevator Music, Tropical, Soft Piano, Calm and Classical. Every station plays with no vocals, no ads and no commercial recordings. Each device picks its own station, so the waiting room and a treatment room, or reception and a staff room, can play different music at the same time.
Listen
What does each station sound like?
Each preview is a separate piece of about 30 seconds, made from that station's own recipe and mastered like its tracks. One preview plays at a time, and nothing plays until you press play. The small line above each name is the room the player suggests for that station.
Waiting room and front desk
Light Jazz
Piano, nylon guitar or electric piano with upright bass and brushes, played lightly with an easy swing or a soft bossa lilt.

How do the eight stations compare?
The biggest differences are tempo and instruments. Track length barely changes: a typical track on every station runs close to three minutes. Each station's name links to its own page, and the next section covers which room each one suits.
| Station | Tempo (BPM) | Typical track |
|---|---|---|
| Acoustic Guitar Fingerpicked and warm | 60 to 80 | 2 min 56 s |
| Light Jazz Easy jazz trio | 78 to 110 | 2 min 56 s |
| Ambient Warm textures, no melody | 50 to 70 | 2 min 50 s |
| Elevator Music Old-school easy listening | 72 to 120 | 2 min 55 s |
| Tropical Laid-back island | 92 to 108 | 2 min 55 s |
| Soft Piano Warm solo piano | 62 to 84 | 2 min 55 s |
| Calm Warm, easy melodies | 50 to 70 | 2 min 55 s |
| Classical Light and graceful | 68 to 90 | 2 min 56 s |
Stations do not play in a fixed order. Each device plays its station in its own shuffled order and works through the station before starting over, and that order changes every day.
Room by room
Which station for which room?
The short answer: Light Jazz or Tropical at the front desk; Calm, Soft Piano or Acoustic Guitar in treatment rooms; Classical or Elevator Music in hallways; and Ambient in any room. The player suggests every station except Calm for the waiting room. Those pairings follow the room suggestions the player shows under each station. They are suggestions, not rules: you can play any station in any room.
Front desk and waiting room
Light Jazz and Tropical
These are the two stations suggested for the front desk, and both are suggested for the waiting room too. Each has a light groove: a jazz trio with brushes and an easy swing or bossa lilt, or steel pan, ukulele and marimba over an island groove. Light Jazz runs 78 to 110 beats per minute, Tropical 92 to 108.
Treatment rooms
Calm, Soft Piano and Acoustic Guitar
Calm has slow, simple melodies with no beat, at 50 to 70 beats per minute. Soft Piano is a single acoustic piano, and Acoustic Guitar is one or two guitars fingerpicked slowly. The player's room suggestions come from dental setups; every station is available in other shared spaces, too.
Hallways
Classical and Elevator Music
Both are suggested for hallways and the waiting room. Classical brings strings, flute, clarinet, piano and classical guitar. Elevator Music brings lush strings, vibraphone and cocktail organ over a soft brushed bossa sway. Classical runs 68 to 90 beats per minute, Elevator Music 72 to 120.
Any room
Ambient
The one station the player suggests for any room. It has no melody: warm pads, soft drones and airy textures that change slowly, at 50 to 70 beats per minute.
If one device feeds the speakers for the whole office, pick a station suggested for the rooms those speakers reach: Light Jazz or Tropical for the waiting room and front desk, Soft Piano or Acoustic Guitar for treatment rooms and the waiting room, Classical or Elevator Music for the waiting room and hallways, or Ambient for any room.
Outside a dental office the same suggestions carry over: a reception, lobby or waiting area suits Light Jazz, Tropical, Elevator Music or Classical; a treatment, massage or consult room suits Soft Piano, Acoustic Guitar or Calm; Ambient fits any room.
For setup ideas, explore school shared spaces, healthcare waiting and staff rooms, massage and spa rooms, acupuncture clinics, hotel public areas, or our dental guides on waiting rooms and treatment rooms.
Two slow stations
Calm or Ambient?
Choose by melody. Calm has melodies you can follow. Ambient has no melody at all, only slow textures. Tempo is not what separates them: Calm's tracks are listed at 50 to 70 beats per minute and Ambient's at 50 to 70.
Treatment rooms
Calm
A tune you could hum, with no beat underneath, played on felt piano, electric piano and warm strings.
30 second preview
Any room
Ambient
Nothing to follow: warm pads, soft drones and held electric piano chords, with no tune on top.
30 second preview
Pick Calm for a treatment room where a gentle tune is welcome. Pick Ambient when you want music with nothing to follow, a warm glow that sits under conversation in any room. Play the two previews one after the other and the difference is plain within a few seconds.
Devices
Can every room play a different station?
Yes, as long as each room has its own device. Every device picks its own station. A device is one stream: a tablet feeding the ceiling speakers in several rooms counts once. Rooms that share one device share its station, so a treatment room needs its own device to play something other than the waiting room.
Plans count devices, not stations, and every plan includes all eight stations. Practice covers up to 5 devices for $24 a month, and an extra device is $4 a month on any plan. See every plan.
Changing a station during the day
Change it on the device itself at any time. A signed-in owner or office manager can also change any connected room's station from the Rooms panel, or switch every room to one station at once. How it works, step by step.
A practice with four devices could play Light Jazz at the front desk, Calm and Soft Piano in two treatment rooms, and Classical in the hallway. Still planning speakers and devices? Start with how to set up music in a dental office.
Questions
Questions about the stations
Do any stations have vocals or ads?
No. All eight stations are instrumental. No vocals, no ads, no commercial recordings.
If two rooms play the same station, do they hear the same track?
Not in step. Each device gets its own shuffled order for the day, so two rooms on Soft Piano usually play different tracks at the same moment. Rooms that should hear the same track together, such as an open bay, share one device: see how to set up music in a dental office.
Where does the music come from?
Every track is generated for eleMusic from our own station recipes, then checked and mastered by us before it reaches you. Read how the music is made.
How many tracks does each station hold?
That number changes over time. Stations and tracks change, as Section 7.1 of the Terms of Service explains, so this page compares how the stations sound rather than their size. While a station plays, the browser player shows how many tracks it holds today. The tempo and track length figures on this page are from the catalog on October 11, 2026.
Hear it in your own rooms.
Eight instrumental stations and one access code, on a tablet or laptop in each room, or cast to your TV. From $15 a month for one device; Practice covers up to 5 devices for $24.
