The music collection is split between Lord Louis Library in Newport and our library headquarters, but you can stream our classical and jazz music through Naxos Music. Visit our eMusic page for more information.
The music collection at Lord Louis Library consists of:
- music tutors for a wide variety of instruments
- single copy scores for individual instruments
- single copy vocal scores of choral works and opera
- scores of musicals
- songbooks for both classical and popular music
- miniature scores of popular orchestral music.
