Welcome to the Wind Ensemble and Band Music Research Guide! This guide is designed for those researching marching bands, brass bands, wind ensembles, and band education in contemporary and historical contexts. Start your research at the Reference Sources page where you can access Oxford Music Online as well as browse print reference books. Then explore the pages Find Books, Find Scores, and Listen to Audio to learn how to find these formats through OneSearch and online databases, and see recommendations by the Music Librarian.
Specialized pages on Brass Bands, Marching Bands, and Band Pedagogy address these topics, again with recommended works listed. Online Resources and Local Ensembles and Bands link to professional organizations like the American Bandmasters Association, essential resources like the Wind Repertory Project, and local groups in Muncie and across Indiana.
