Jazz Studies Guide

The Music Library (Fenwick 2B) houses both the circulating scores (which you can borrow) and non-circulating music reference scores (which must be consulted on-site only). The library's score collection includes study scores and sheet music.

Use library search to find specific jazz scores by title, author, keyword, or genre. Once you get your results, filter to Resource Type: Scores. To only view scores we have online, filter to Availability: Online.

Here are a few search examples:
