Preparatory students are not limited to this collection, but it may be a good place to begin looking for appropriate materials. The Preparatory Collection is classified in ML 3929 and ML 3930, in the main room of the Library. Below are classification numbers for studies and exercises for piano, and for string instruments. For help with other instruments, or with more specific requests, please ask a librarian. The periodicals are in several locations in the Library and in storage.
Latest issues are on display.
If a back-issue is in storage, it is generally available within 24 hours. To determine whether the Library owns a given journal or magazine, check the journal listing at the end of the card catalog for books, EuclidPLUS, or the Union Serials List, which contains the holdings of The Institute Library and Kulas Music Library at Case Western Reserve University. All sound recordings are available for use in the Library, on our 16 listening stations. Sound recordings and listening facilities are available only for current students and faculty at The Institute, and music and dance majors, and music and dance faculty, at Case Western Reserve University. All other CWRU personnel should use Kulas Music Library in Haydn Hall.
