Music

This is a guide to web sites and library resources to support research and exploration in music. While the focus is on UW-Whitewater resources, open access and other materials that are essential for specific assignments and classes may be included.

Use this search box to get started:

Research@UWW

How to Search for Scores & Audio Using Research@UWW

Search Research@UWW's "Books, Media & more (UW Whitewater)." 

If Andersen Library (or Rock's library) doesn't have it, then search other UW libraries ("Books,Media & more UW System"). You can have materials from the Rock campus library, or from other UW libraries, sent to Andersen Library. See the "Getting Materials from Other Libraries" tab

Sample searches:

  1. composer last name AND "title of work" ............................ Mozart AND "Cosi fan tutte"
  2. composer last name AND works ....................................... Joplin AND works
  3. form / genre AND instrument ..............................................cantata AND oboe

Choose a 'Resource Type" under the the Filters, such as audio, video, scores, etc..

Here's a screenshot of an example:
