Music Materials

Student listening to sound recording

The Library's music collection, located within the Multimedia Center, consists of books, periodicals, scores, sound recordings, video recordings and films. The music collection primarily supports classroom instruction and research needs of the music faculty and students enrolled in the Department of Music at Cleveland State University.

The collection is strong in the areas of music education, music history, performance, composition, ethnomusicology, jazz, electronic music and performance.

The collection of performance scores is strong in both instrumental and vocal music; there is a research collection of composers' collected editions and monuments of music. Of particular note are the Herbert Elwell Archives, South Indian music collections, and contemporary Polish music.
