RECORDINGS

The Music Library has a large sound archive and there are many CDs and LPs (vinyl) of percussion music. To access them, search our online catalog at
discover.library.unt.edu
and customize your search by entering “percussion” and selecting Music Recordings from the facets on the left of the screen. Bring the call numbers for what you want to the Music Library services desk and an attendant will help you.

We subscribe to streaming audio databases Naxos Music Library and Classical Music Library, which also have much percussion music. Any UNT person can use them by entering their EUID and password anywhere they have internet access.
