Music Catalog Search Tips
On the Search tab of the Music Catalog:
Use the keyword search bar at the top for titles, composers, and arrangers
Use the various filters found on the left side
Use the Categories filters to find music for your ensemble rather than typing "band" or "choir" or "orchestra" in the search bar
Find solo rep by first selecting the Solo filter in the Categories section. Then select the applicable instrument from the Instruments menu. This also applies to small ensemble and jazz searches.
When searching for vocal rep, select "Voice - All" from the Instruments menu. The following words related to vocal range are not listed as instruments: bass, tenor, alto, mezzo, soprano.
