Music Scores and Sheet Music

How to find music scores and sheet music at UCLA or online: classical, jazz, popular music, etc.

Finding Parts

In the Catalog

The Music Library collects parts for chamber music ensembles for up to 8 instruments. (We do not have orchestral parts or parts for ensembles of more than 9 instruments.)  We try to have parts for all ensembles for which we have the score, if they are available. Parts for some contemporary works are not available for sale, they must be rented from the publisher. To find instrumental parts, use the same procedures listed in the In the Catalog section.

On CD-Rom

We have a large collection of CD-Roms with parts in PDF that can be printed from any computer. In the catalog search the title:
Orchestra Musician's CD-Rom Library

Online

The IMSLP has a project underway to provide instrumental parts for public domain works. Information on this project can be found here: IMSLP Orchestra Parts Project.
