Where do you shop for music?

Post by swillafew »

After the holiday, I am going to be composing for tuba. I just heard Gene Pokorny's recital (loaded with new music) and it really inspired me. I want to survey some recent music before I get started. I intend to start with short pieces for young players, and work my way up. Any suggestions on places to shop online is appreciated.

I have bought quite a bit of music from Sheet Music Plus

And for lots of good tuba literature by current composers take a look at Cimarron Music
