Finding the right piece of music should feel like the fun part of the job. MakeMusic Shop brings the browsing, buying, and printing together in one place, so you can spend your time choosing repertoire instead of tracking it down.
Learn what MakeMusic Shop offers, how downloads work, and how it differs from MakeMusic Cloud.
What is MakeMusic Shop?
MakeMusic Shop is a digital sheet music storefront built for music educators. You can browse, purchase, and download sheet music in one place, and physical music can ship straight to you. Titles are chosen for educational use and tagged by grade level, ensemble type, genre, and instrumentation, so you can narrow thousands of options to the ones that fit your group.
What can you find in MakeMusic Shop?
The Shop covers the music your program plays all year:
- Band and orchestra: Concert band, full orchestra, string orchestra, jazz ensemble, and marching band.
- Choral: Octavos for school and sacred choirs, including Hal Leonard’s collection of nearly 20,000 digital titles.
- Piano and guitar: Chord charts, tab, easy arrangements, and method books.
- Classroom and methods: Teaching resources, theory, and method books for every level.
The catalog includes Alfred Music, Hal Leonard, Edition Peters, FJH, and other publishers, so you can shop across catalogs without leaving the site.
How do you find the right music?
Use the filters to sort by ensemble, grade, genre, and instrument. If you’re building a program, start with the grade level that fits your group and browse from there. If you already have a piece in mind, search by title or composer.
How do digital downloads work?
Digital titles are instant downloads, so you can print your parts the same day. Download your files, then print, annotate, and share them with your students. Digital conductor score and parts sets include the score and every part as PDFs, and you can print individual parts as many times as you need. Each product page also shows what’s included, so you know what you’re getting before you buy.
How do MakeMusic Shop and MakeMusic Cloud differ?
MakeMusic Shop and MakeMusic Cloud are two separate products that serve different needs.
- MakeMusic Shop is where you buy sheet music. Digital titles are PDF downloads that you print, annotate, and manage yourself. Physical titles ship to your door.
- MakeMusic Cloud is where subscribers practice interactively. Interactive titles include accompaniment tracks, adjustable tempo, and practice tools, and they’re available to subscribers only.
- “Available in MakeMusic Cloud” refers to the interactive version. When a Shop product page shows that badge, the title is available interactively to MakeMusic Cloud subscribers.
- Subscribers save in the Shop. Sign in with your MakeMusic Cloud or Studio email to get 25% off sitewide.
- Request a title for Cloud. If you’d like an interactive version of a piece, product pages include a request link so you can tell the team what you want to see.
Who is MakeMusic Shop for?
Anyone who needs sheet music for a group or a student: band, orchestra, jazz, choral, piano, guitar, and general classroom programs. If you teach, conduct, or lead music in a school, studio, or community setting, there’s something here for you.
