PFMJ Voice Performance

• Naxos Music Library ​ (use the smartphone app)
• Jazz Music Library

BEST TIP: use a keyword search:

1. Enter in as much of the title that you are absolutely sure of
2. Put quotation marks around words that go together in a phrase ("mia bella")
3. Filter your results with the options of scores or audio

Still can't find it?
Come to the Music Center desk. It helps if you know:

• the composer
• if the song is part of a larger work or is it known by another title?
• if the song has an opus number or other catalog number?

Or, look outside the library catalog with our suggestions for Online Scores & Digital Audio
