​Many often lament that ensembles today are just “not interested in performing new music from living composers”. But oftentimes it really comes down to just simply not having the time to look to find these new works! Finding music in general can be utterly overwhelming and add in a time crunch…just picking some things from your music library and calling it a day can be quite alluring.

As a publisher, we are always on the lookout for fresh and exciting new music to share by equally exciting new composers. Today we are going to offer some of our favorite ways and recommendations for digging up fresh new materials for your next choral, band, or orchestra concert. Let’s make finding new and engaging music a breeze!

When considering classroom culture, it is important to also consider the students we address daily, as we strive for inclusion within our community. As listed below, there are many areas of growth to create safe spaces for students.
