I miss the days when there was a big music store in Syracuse and I could walk in and \
get what I needed.  I recently talked to a local professional singer and she gave me \
the following sources.  I have not bought from them yet but plan to I have looked at \
the sites and it looks like they will work out well for me.

http://www.frankmusiccompany.com/catalog/  for classical music
http://www.tismusic.com/ for art songs, opera arias or Broadway tunes
http://www.classicalvocalrep.com/ classical music for solo voice (opera, art songs, \
specialty numbers, new composers, rare music and old favorites) \
http://www.patelsons.com   Classical, Opera, Jazz, Folk, Country, Musicals, Movies, \
Kids, Pop, Rock, R&B, Religious/Holidays, International

You may want to investigate subscribing to "Sheet Music Magazine" to keep new music \
coming in. 

Also, Jim Brickman has written some of the most beautiful music for the piano. His \
music has been used in Disney productions and the Olympics to name just a couple. He \
has recorded with very well-known artists as well. You can buy sheet music and music \
books from his website: www.jimbrickman.com

I think it would be very popular! Good luck!

   Hello, Everyone:


            I have been asked by a colleague to submit this question to you.  We have \
a sheet music collection and we need ideas for collection development sources. It is \
a popular music collection.  We have lots of Broadway music,  and  Beatles songbooks. \
There are popular  individual  performers like Sinatra,  and famous performers from \
the 1960's forward.  There are collections of wedding music.   There are lot of \
country/western books, too.   It's a vocal/piano collection.  We're also trying to \
add more materials that include guitar tabs.

             Any ideas you have will be greatly appreciated.
