This guide is intended to help you use the UNT Music Library
to find printed music for viola, books about the viola, journals
devoted to the viola, and more.
We have subscription databases such as Naxos Music Library and Classical Music Library
which have streaming audio of viola music. You can access them by clicking on the Databases tab on the library homepage; library.unt.edu and entering the name of the database you want.
