During our one-hour introductory session for new students, we will tell you about the features of the German Music Archive, explain how to search for and order sheet music and sound recordings in the online catalogue and show you how to use the services in the music reading room. You will also gain insights into the music reference library, the soundproofed listening booth with the digital grand piano and some of the most remarkable items in the German Music Archive's collection.
This service complements the general user introduction , which you should ideally attend beforehand in order to get basic information about the German National Library's services.
