CMEA Music Library
In addition to supplying music for our festival ensembles, the CMEA Music Library is available to current members as a lending library. Members may borrow up to two titles at a time during the school year. Please note that certain titles may not be available due to student festival programs.
If you would like to borrow music from the CMEA library: Read the below qualifications and borrowing procedure carefully, and then log in to this website and the Lending Library Application Form will appear to the right on desktop or at the bottom of the page on mobile.
Festival Committees should not use the lending library form to order music for the festival ensembles. Instead login to access the Committee Forms section under Student Events and complete the Festival Music Order Form found there.
