There are also links and articles for other music resources.

J.W. Pepper is the easiest site I've used when choosing and purchasing sheet music. It is very helpful that most of the pieces allow you to hear a performance of the music you want to buy and you are able to see the scores for the pieces, this has helped me determine if my groups can play the piece before I buy it. I can see if the range is too high for trumpets, if there are a lot of string crossings for violins, etc.

J.W. Pepper distributes sheet music for every ensemble. Band, choir and orchestra teachers can find music from Beethoven to Whitaker in this one-stop-shop for sheet music.

J.W. Pepper is a website to access many types of music scores. Creating an account is very easy, and there is no annual fee. I find many pieces that work for my all my varying ability ensembles through this site because it offers various arrangements of the same work. I can sometimes find a piece in SATB and 2-part. Prices of music keep rising, but they have great customer service and shipping is usually quick. Many selections on the website are accompanied by a recording of the piece, but not always in the voicing selected.

JW Pepper is a resource I use to find music for my choirs of 4th-8th grade. It has music categorized by event, genre, grade, and ensemble. I also use this resource to play recordings for my students to model a new piece of repertoire.
