While many factors contribute to a successful musical experience, perhaps none is as critical as the actual music itself. Students need to be able to perform it well and understand it (to some degree, anyway), educators need to be able to teach it, and audiences need to be able to connect with it. The good news is that with ever-increasing print music resources available online, finding and sampling new music has never been easier. Yet, in spite of the veritable digital revolution taking place in all areas of the print industry, it seems that educators are still more comfortable heading over to the local music store (or calling them on the phone) than making purchases over the Internet. Read on as the SBO faithful share their thoughts on all things print music in this latest reader survey.
